In the compassionate, playful, fable-like poems of The Animals of My Earth School, Mildred Kiconco Barya awakens us to the vividly singing, fully alive, non-human communities surrounding us. -Michael Hettich, The Mica Mine.
These poems provide pleasure and a glimmer of hope.
Like a literary Noah\'s ark of song, The Animals of My Earth School provides a place where all may dance and thrive.
There is great solace, tenderness, and innocence here-the kind of innocence capable of apprehending the creatures of the world-and thus the world itself-afresh.
These poems demonstrate poetry\'s unique ability to prick us from our self-involved numbness and awaken us to wonder.
