The Poet and the Donkey: A Novel
"A small, sophisticated, elegantly sentimental journey through a New Hampshire village summer. Our companions are an aging poet, who is sad because he can no longer write — he has lost the joy he used to have in simply being alive — and a young, mischievous female donkey, who is sad because she can't run and play — she has a touch of arthritis... There is a moral, of course, but any moral looks dull next to the simple happiness of the old poet and his long-eared muse." — The New Yorker
