Reviews

""A thought-provoking and emotionally resonant read that stands out for its lyrical prowess and formal innovation, making it a significant contribution to contemporary literature as well as a key volume bridging the gap between the worlds of science and art.""—Library Journal   ""There are very few books that combine work across literary genres while focusing on a simple message: We must save our one and only precious Earth.""—Scientific American   ""[W]hat makes Creature Needs inspiring is that it was borne of one of the very best parts of our species: the imagination. Each contributing writer found a personal and meaningful connection with another living thing. Taken together, the book is full of love and admiration—reverence, even.""—Electric Literature
