Poet Nickole Brown has been writing recently about the relationship between humans and animals in poems that operate like lean, lyric essays. A sample of new poems called To Those Who Were Our First Gods won Rattle’s 2018 Chapbook Contest and was published in December 2018, and an essay-in-poems (in a 25-part sequence) called The Donkey Elegies was published by Sibling Rivalry Press in 2020.
