A review by sophiaeck
The Animals in That Country by Margaret Atwood

3.0

“no wires tender even as nerves
can transmit the impact of
our seasons, our catastrophes
while we are closed inside them.”

this was a great classic collection of poetry from atwood. i love atwood as an author and this was my first foray into her poetry and it is as touching and sneakily profound as any of the books i have read by her. atwood is so good at imparting an impact despite her use of common speak and mundane aspects of life.
