In Instructions for an Animal Body, Kelly Gray leads readers on a journey where body is both the death ground of grief and the birthplace of resilience. Using natural history to flip human constructs around predator and prey, violence and sensuality, Gray reimagines a lush modern mythology. From the work of vultures to weather systems between legs, these poems will transport you into a gritty world where boundaries between beasts and humans merge and the beautiful monster-within reigns supreme.

My Fingers Are Whales and other stories of Cetology lays within the intersection of whale, human child, evolution and the unraveling of a family. Each poem lays fresh eyes on the entwined fates of human and whale as they swim into the dark waters of the Anthropocene. Stories float through currents where lore and science have more in common than not, families adapt and break, and grief is sibling to hope.
