Lions in the Garden: A Canine Meditation

By Paul Reidinger

Paul Reidinger's witty and moving meditation on a life shared with two chow chows ranges widely across landscapes both physical and metaphysical, from travels in the Mediterranean to a youthful encounter with Gore Vidal, but in the end it is a reflection on private and public catastrophe and how heart and mind respond when every corner of the world seems to have been set afire and no haven is safe.
