From the back cover:
The latest collection from Benjamin Dodds interprets the bizarre true story of Lucy, a chimpanzee raised as the “daughter” of Oklahoma psychotherapist Dr Maurice Temerlin during the 1960s and 70s. With deep empathy and en eye for subtle, telling moments, Dodds offers a complex reimagination of Lucy’s fraught hybrid life through unflinching poems that fascinate and unsettle in equal measure.
