“The Animal at Your Side spans worlds – Eastern Europe, China, Ecuador, folktale, and myth – all of these worlds equally sinister and haunting. In poems where we feel “the whirr-click of war beginning . . .” the poet learns that the best way to survive is to become “the same color as rocks, water, / anything I walked past, / see-through.” This is Megan Alpert’s gift to us – radical empathy – so we can shape-shift through these worlds as she has. This is a collection I’ll read time and again, and I know I will grow with each reading.”

–Shaindel Beers, author of Secure Your Own Mask, finalist for the Oregon Book Award
