GUARDIAN __________________ Find Me as the Creature I Am is a book of tenderness and violence, longing and love. From inherited family tales to meditations on the body to animals' displays of love and grief, Emily Jungmin Yoon shows how entwined the human and animal worlds really are. In poems full of wonder and want, she illuminates our tendencies to fight or fly, act with affection and cruelty, and ultimately, overflow with life itself. Here, we see that what passes between us – body to body, generation to generation – is what defines a life.
