Mongrel Love

Judith Krause is well known for her sharp perceptions, skill and wit, and in Mongrel Love she brings together all these elements in her best work to date. These poems are infused with a generous spirit for dogs, birds and other animals as well as humans and their artifacts. In many ways these are poems that travel, from the easy-chair to the fabled streets of Paris and through Krause's voice and vision we arrive with new insights and a new understanding of the journey. Here is the assured voice and constant music of a mature poet, one who doesn't shy away from the enduring subjects: the living, the dead, and the human events that move us through our time.
