Poetry. In this series of interwoven poems about a beloved family dog, Charlene Fix provides the reader with an extraordinary meditation upon human and animal communication, brought forth through the medium of poetry. The accompanying illustrations by Susan Josephson bring Bruno's life into view from a canine eye level and give FLOWERING BRUNO a visual pacing that carries the reader along. Fix is the recipient of poetry fellowships from the Ohio Arts Council and the Greater Columbus Arts Council. "Poetry is always besotted with something: the lost, the loved, the longing for peace or god or understanding.With her dear dog Charlene Fix calls all those other subjects to the page. Come. Sit. Stay"—Michael J. Rosen.
