Keith Waldrop is a quiet major poet, a major poet of quiet. In one of his very few interviews, Waldrop says: "I think the worst fault a poem can have is striving for effect." Waldrop never strives; instead, he haunts-his presence is all the more powerful for barely being there, like a ghost you discover in a familiar photograph.
Our Animal hybridizes novel flaking into poetic forms like a gnat swarm, magnetic filings, or migratory flux.
