We might never find out how animals think – but we certainly can talk about how we think about animals. In this conversation, we sat down with Anne Simone—one of the pioneering voices in the field of zoopoetics, a rich, interdisciplinary approach to literature that explores how we write, think, and feel about animals and the living world. We discuss the nuances of anthropomorphism, hybrid beings, and the role of language in portraying animal perspectives. We also try to answer the question: Is it possible to view the world from the point of view of another living being of a different species?
