About DOGS IN TOPANGA 2000-2018
Product Description These poems, like the dogs they celebrate, and the poet herself, are variously touching, funny, outrageous, charming, mischievous, full of life, silly, insightful, and inspiring. The author, Jane Marla Robbins, is the best-selling author of Poems of the Laughing Buddha. Review "The poems are evocative, charming, touching, insightful. And haunting. I laugh at one, cry at another. I couldn't stop reading." - Jack Grapes, author, Method Writing, The Naked Eye and Any Style "Jane Marla Robbins has a keen eye for moments of beauty, and a wicked sense of humor... Pure magic" - Hope Edelman, author, Motherless Daughters, The Possibility of Everything "A free-spirited California dog lover celebrates the joyful, healing presence of canines.... A touching, poetic tribute to the irrepressible nature of man's best friend, and to a rapidly disappearing bohemian culture." - Kirkus Review "This intimate and strikingly honest collection is a study of love, laughter and even loss. These poems illustrate that a dog's intuitive, unconditional love is the closest thing to holy." - Kelly Grace Thomas, author, BoatBurned "I expected that reading some poems about dogs would be enjoyable. But I did not expect to laugh and cry the way I did. Each poem is a story, artfully crafted and keenly insightful. I love this book. Dog medicine for the soul." - Harry Hart-Browne, actor, playwright, Special Delivery "Terrifically fun and touching! The poems are earthy, real and revealing, clearly as much about the poet as about her dogs. Robbins reveals her own pain, healing, and soul-searching. Her guides are, of course, these angelic, rough house spirits, the so-called DOGS OF TOPANGA." - Beth Grant, actress, Rain Man and The Artist "It's more than a book about dogs, it's a book of deep wisdoms." - Gary Johnson, author, Head Trauma: Sonnets and Other Poems "A joyful experience. The silliness and majesty of each special animal shine on every page. The metaphors and rhythms are both childlike and sophisticated." - Janet B. Fattal, screenwriter, A Twist of Faith and co-author, A Narrow Bridge "An inimitable blend of the profound and the playful. Also uplifting, healing and joyful." - Linda Klausner, author, American Beat Yogi: Hindu and Indian Themes in Allen Ginsberg From the Author I'm hoping that you find in these poems, and in your life, whatever gives you as much insane and perfect pleasure, as much joy, wisdom, peace, hilarity, and love, as the dogs in this book have given me.
