Until Arks Everywhere Unmoor: Poetry and Photos by C.R. Dobson

In Until Arks Everywhere Unmoor, C.R. Dobson explores why encounters with wild animals and meeting their gaze have held such symbolic significance for us. Forests, mountains, and seas don’t look back when we admire them. Animals often do. Every so often an animal displays inquisitive behavior. Is this why they became central figures in our myths, origin stories, and pop culture? Although animals are symbols for us, they exist for themselves. They are participants, not merely pictures. This evocative collection of poems and photographs invites you to unmoor from familiar shore lines and embark upon a voyage toward your own homecoming to a shared wellspring of wild existence.
