Praise for Flowering Bruno

"Yes, these are dog-besotted poems! Poetry is always besotted with something: the lost, the loved, the longing for peace or god or understanding, or, at the root of it all, more-more unspoiled details to redeem our short-lived lives. With her dear dog, Charlene Fix calls all those other subjects to the page. Come. Sit. Stay."
