Animals & People

by Lisa Couturier

Perhaps nothing illuminates the complexity of our relationship to the natural world better than the relationship between people and animals. The essays collected here explore these contradictions in all their difficulty, but they also celebrate our connection to the animal world and provide a model for how we might respect and revere our fellow animals more deeply. As Pattiann Rogers writes, "For how can we possess dignity if we allow them no dignity? Who will recognize our beauty if we do not revel in their beauty? . . . How can we believe in grace if we do not bestow grace?"
