About Even the Dog Was Quiet:
Even the Dog was Quiet is a book of poetry, delivered in hushed overtones when life catches you looking. The collection tells stories through poetry in memoir fashion. “Risk” and “Rue” serve as a call and response to the perils of youth and pain of aging. “A Collage of Misery” about the Gettysburg battlefield and “Early Spring” written about a land trust in present day Baltimore, share an important honey locust tree. Family, friends and strangers, journey with the author in ordinary places but often in extraordinary circumstances. Included in the book are Alex Polner’s interior illustrations as well as his pastel drawing “The Crossing” on the cover.
