註釋Printmaker Brian D. Cohen and poet Chard deNiord have maintained an ongoing dialogue about animals since their first collaboration on the theme in the 1995 artist's book "What the Animals Teach Us." Animals have never ceased calling to artist and poet in silent and strange languages that have beckoned them to listen, observe, and wonder. To Cohen and deNiord, animals offer "tokens of ourselves" (Walt Whitman, Song of Myself) as they continue to inspire and surprise. Bestiary pairs over thirty poems and prints of a range of animals in their natural environments. Cohen and deNiord have sought to capture the integrity of their subjects' wildness, beauty, and beatitude, with the awareness that every creature in its unique, inimitable way is more compelling, mysterious, and ephemeral than they had imagined. Carolyn Forche has written a foreword to the book in which she places Bestiary in historical, mythological, moral, and scientific context, and exhorts readers to behold and honor these animate wonders of the world with their full awareness and open hearts.
