Poetry. These are fine poems of Nature, place, and community. Paul S. Piper is an intuitive poet with a Zen sense of language and wonder. "In Paul Piper's newest collection of poems, Dog, like a bodhisattva, leads the narrator and reader to a place that glistens with wonder and humor"—Charles Luckmann. "Powerful poetry here by Paul Piper—mystical and whimsical. These dog poems are fun yet meaty—definitely intellectual bones to gnaw on"—Tim Pilgrim.
