“Our relationships with animals are haunted by death. It lingers in the liminal space of the soul in grief—in painful recognition when a beloved cat, rabbit, parrot, or dog passes; in the confused stricken anonymity of worldwide extinctions; and in the palpable suffering behind factory walls. In its lyrical marriage of personal experience and scholarship, Mourning Animals brings together the beauty, love, and exquisite poignancy of what it means to live with animal kin.”
—G. A. Bradshaw, author of Elephants on the Edge and director of the Kerulos Center
