I reviewed Our Held Animal Breath by Kathryn Kirkpatrick back in June and found that the book stayed with me long afterward, forcing me to revisit some particularly resonant pieces, like "Millennium" and "At the Turkey Farm," that question the loneliness we feel when what we should see and feel is that connection we have with the animals and world around us. There is so much to discuss in the collection, that it would make an interesting book club discussion. I was intrigued enough to pose my own questions to the poet, and today, I share with you her answers.
