Tracing the timelines of her life forward and backward, she offers a moving examination of the role of family and the possible\/probable\/hoped for existence of God--and how our perceptions of the divine can be transformed from a kindergartner's dyslexically scrawled \"doG loves U\" to the ever-present but oft-ignored Dog Angel of the title. Ranging from a cross-country drive to bury her mother's ashes at Arlington National Cemetery, to a family vacation in Spain, to an imagined final exam given by her children, Kercheval explores the vagaries of love, loss, faith, grief, and joy with a calm, convincing wisdom that permeates this resonant and wonderful collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJesse Lee Kercheval\u003c\/b\u003e is a poet, writer, and translator, specializing in Uruguayan poetry.
