"A compelling sincerity and kindness can be found in B.D. Love's Hounds of Wonder: A Life in Rescue Dogs. Love's sonnets are the work of a poet whose commitment to his craft is equal to his keen ability to chronicle the details of the lives of eleven very different dogs. These abandoned dogs live 'beside the freeway' or are 'trapped behind a chain link fence,' or caged in the 'Central Shelter' until they are rescued by the poet. This is a personal journey told by Love, who feels the force of our human obligation to see how our culture has cast away so many dogs. Through the heartbeat meter of his sonnets, B.D. Love allows us to meet these beautiful, quirky, funny, shy, and once cruelly treated dogs. In doing so, he reminds us that poetry is compassion and compassion is how we may rescue others." - Susan Cohen, co-editor of Coming of Age at the End of Nature: A Generation Faces Living on a Changed Planet
