About the Book

As a psychologist, Lisa C. Krueger is familiar with digging into what makes us human. The joys and celebrations or the pain of what cuts the skin--and what cuts deeper. In animals the size of dreams, Krueger looks into the dark corners and, instead of just shining a light, strips them down to their foundations, until all that's left is life.

About the Author :
Lisa C. Krueger is the author of two books of poetry, Rebloom (Red Hen Press, 2005) and animals the size of dreams (Red Hen Press, 2009). She also has written a series of interactive journals related to psychology and creativity. Her poetry has appeared in numerous publications. As a clinical psychologist she maintains a private therapy practice focused on women's issues, writing therapy and the role of creativity in wellness. She lives in Pasadena with her husband and three children.

Review :
Lisa C. Krueger's poems cradle "brutal sounds of self, / what must be heard, / what said." Whether the focus is a child who cuts herself to make sure she's alive or the mother who cannot see her daughter's wounds, this poet responds with deep empathy--listening and speaking. This book deals with the helplessness of a mother witnessing a child's suffering until the thousand cranes her classmates fold soar on her last breath. These poems are as wild as a hawk in the kitchen, as nourishing as crusty loaves, hot from the oven. --Peggy Shumaker Lisa C. Krueger's second collection holds us close as a mother bears witness to her own child's mortality and to other forces that can tear the very framework of a home. These are poems of troubled harbor, where Krueger gives us an anchor amid the unimaginable. As a poet and psychologist, Krueger is a champion of creative fertility, the dark places, and the floral blossoming of human connection that makes the unfathomable bearable. A moving, inspirational, and life-affirming book. --Jenny Factor The world of Animals the Size of Dreams is full of anguish, redeemed by moments of beauty, transcendence, and hard-won understanding. In these concise, well-crafted meditations, Lisa C. Krueger faces pain head-on, and faces it down. --Charles Harper Webb
