Synopsis
Our Animal hybridizes novel flaking into poetic forms like a gnat swarm, magnetic filings, or migratory flux. It’s a fierce inquiry into Othering, tracking Kafka’s life through his deep identification with animals, especially those hunted or outcast. Graphically complex with metamorphic text layers, the chapters shape-shift in relation to crows, dragonflies, a frog; there are deer, swallows, a goldfinch, humans, a hybrid Beast, wolf, Insekt, a small unidentified animal in its burrow. We are entangled in biography as biology— paradisiacal transfiguration that leaves out no being.
Our Animal is the winner of the 2014 Omnidawn Poetry Open Book Contest, selected by Mary Jo Bang.

About the Author
Meredith Stricker is the author of six poetry collections, including REWILD, winner of the Tupelo Press Dorset Prize; Our Animal, winner of the Omnidawn Open Book Award; Tenderness Shore, winner of the National Poetry Series Award; and anemochore, winner of the Gloria Anzaldúa Prize and finalist for the Poetry Society of America Four Quartets Award. Her work involves performance, paint, drawing, graphic overlays and hybrid forms of documentary/lyric exploring a sentient world through media ranging from artist books to buildings. As an artist, designer and poet, she co-directs poetics + space, a collaborative that focuses on architecture in Big Sur, along with projects to bring together artists, writers, musicians and experimental forms.

Cover art by Canan Tolon. keywords: American Literature Poetry Women. DESCRIPTION - Our Animal hybridizes novel flaking into poetic forms like a gnat swarm, magnetic filings, or migratory flux. It's a fierce inquiry into Othering, tracking Kafka's life through his identification with animals, especially those hunted or outcast. We are entangled in biography as biology - paradisiacal transfiguration that leaves out no being. Our Animal haunts the tragic peripheries of World War II, themes central to Jewish literature after the Shoah: G-d, diaspora, trauma, memory, testimony, history, and survival. Kafka is Stricker's companion animal, attuned equally to devastation and transformation, doubt and faith. The beauty of writing does not shield us from brutality, instead leading us 'further into the dark conveyance beyond imagination.' - Brian Teare, author of Companion Grasses. inventory #42519.
