DOGS OF BROOKLYN is a fresh poetic narrative about Susie DeFord’s colorful life as a dog walker in Brooklyn accompanied by vivid photographs by Dennis Riley. DeFord examines the challenge and exhilaration of city life while celebrating the human-animal bond. DOGS OF BROOKLYN is a must read for city and animal lovers alike.

“Susie DeFord’s DOGS OF BROOKLYN is a high-energy homage to a neighborhood, a borough, and a city. It offers a lament for the city’s “becoming like the suburban sprawl we all fled here to escape” while also standing as proof of the city’s vitality, its ongoing possibility for poetry. Full of dicey humor and uncommon open-heartedness for human and non-human animals alike, DOGS OF BROOKLYN celebrates the blessed state of being both one and numerous.” –Maggie Nelson author of Bluets

“Our canine betters, our friends since pre-history, have rarely had the justice done to them that Susie DeFord does in her wonderful poetic investigations into the life of Brooklyn's dogs, into their habits, their idiosyncrasies, and their secret longings.”
–Vijay Seshadri author of The Long Meadow

“Susie DeFord’s exhilarating Dogs of Brooklyn brims with the energy of the city (and animals) she loves. The writing is vigorous, the perceptions acute, and the feelings infectious. A terrific debut.” –John Koethe author of Ninety-Fifth Street
