Overview

In Sally Cobau's Animals in the House: 18 Sonnets, she writes about many people including her husband, children, parents, grandparents, friends, students, and past loves. She creates an ever-shifting landscape to illustrate the fine line between whimsy and despair. The ""characters"" in these poems never fully disappear. Even in death, they inhabit a ghostly presence, haunting the old homes. Likewise, the animals that live in the houses provide a comfortable opposition to the human world as they enhance our earthy, beautiful existence.
