About This Item
Brooklyn, NY: Strike Three Press, 2012. Klein, David G.. Quarto. (36)pp. One of 68 copies, signed by Cahill and Klein. Klein's expressive linocuts—printed in black, two with colored backgrounds—capture the personalities of various animals rescued and housed by Sean Casey Animal Rescue, a Brooklyn no-kill shelter thrumming with activity. Among the animals featured are a gentle pit bull, a three-legged feral cat, an enterprising parrot, and a seven-foot boa constrictor. The project is not merely sentimental; the book's Afterword details the enormous task of saving and rehoming pets lost and traumatized in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. The result is a moving showcase of spirit, of the bond between humans and animals; the epigraph, drawn from Chief Seattle's 1855 letter to President Franklin Pierce, reminds us that "If all the beasts wre gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to man. All things are connected." Bound in full dark gray cloth over boards with portrait of an iguana stamped in gilt to upper cover. Maps of Brooklyn serve as pastedowns. Fine.
