PAWPRINTS OF HISTORY: DOGS AND THE COURSE OF HUMAN EVENTS.
After You, First Snow: Letters filling in/as if dog angels raced through,/tipping trays of type,/Goudy mixing Garamond,/mailing with least gravity//to rag paper, earth,/your neighborhood, your yard, now/a ghost-pressed broadside/without pawprint flowers, still,/your boundless joy, that playbow.
For the university's PawPrints printing service, outsourcing was the answer.
