Critics Review
The wise dog does not brood on no: he does not make a story of no. The wise dog makes his peace with no and waits, with hope and confidence, for the next yes.” -Tai Moses, from Zooburbia
“Moses captures ‘the human desire to form an emotional bond with other creatures’ and its nuanced shades of both glory and misery.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Moses writes in an engaging style, applying self-deprecating humor, righteous anger, or even Zen philosophy as the material requires. She describes nature and animals beautifully and simply. This is the memoir of a writer who has put real thought into how she relates to the natural world, and readers will find those thoughts worth considering.”
—Jeff Fleischer, Foreword
“Dog and horse, deer and mole: these are the flesh-and-blood spirits who attend Moses’ writing, metamorphosing her first-person essays into a radiant collective consciousness. We live in a zoo without cages. Moses’ book is a keeper.”
—Joanna Brichetto, BookPage
