Dog Language

By Chase Twichell

Chase Twichell follows these rules when writing poems: "Tell the truth. No decoration. Remember death." In an age when individual identity is questioned, medicated, and revised, the poems in Dog Language address the question "What is the self?" Following the line of human development, Twichell confronts memory and mortality and asks what, if anything, survives. She writes, "poetry is not window-cleaning. / It breaks the glass."
