"The middle section is a collection of elegies to dogs, and the final section is about later life."
Ha, I already knew this because I just returned from a quick holiday in Port Townsend, and the local rag had a story on it because the publisher is in PT. Also visited Fort Casey, which synchs with your previous post. Fort Casey was a 1900 gun battery that defended Puget Sound from alien attack! Oddly enough, it is currently getting a facelift, the old, rotting concrete getting a brand new coat of olive green - all spiffed up. We joked that they were installing new photon torpedos in prep for the coming alien invasion.
talk about a sync, this guy is my neighbor.
