Turning an idiosyncratic eye to the inhabitants of zoos and fish tanks, cafes and cemeteries, she illuminates details that make the familiar seem strange. An egret stands \"still as a glass of milk\"; iceberg lettuce is a \"vegetable leviathan\" that \"extends beneath the dinner table \/ an unseen, monstrous green\"; a bald eagle may \"love a jet?-- \/ or worship them all, or mock them, rigid \/ freaks that never linger.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoanie Mackowski\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of English at Cornell University and author of the poetry collection \u003ci\u003eThe Zoo.\u003c\/i\u003e Her awards include the Emily Dickinson Prize from the Poetry Society of America, the Associated Writing Programs Award in Poetry, the Kate Tufts Discovery Prize, a Rona Jaffe Foundation Grant, and a Wallace Stegner Fellowship.
