"This is a witty, tender, and utterly charming debut collection from a local Cambridge poet. These pages are brimming with soul and shimmering with intelligence; they're also spiced with unpretentious words like 'shit.' It is, after all, A Dog's Life, as they say."

"A Dog's Life is a delightful romp through Americana by way of 'real' America with sly, politically engaged poems. Though this poet issues a rallying cry against 'siren songs of entertainment,' his poems are completely entertaining but, at the same time, completely wise. He takes on true love, extinction, our fragile environment, war, technology, porn, aging and our fight against it, cancer, nursing homes, and death. A Dog's Life is an enlightened look at Doritos, Carson Daly, Walmart, McDonalds, theme parks, and, of course, dogs." —Denise Duhamel
