I Run with the Fox

"I Run with the Fox" by Mona Gould is a compilation of poems from the mid-20th century that looks into the depths of memory and human existence. It is colored by the experiences of World War II and its effects, and it captures the feeling of wanting something lost and remembering past moments. It considers how quickly life passes by, using the natural world to express human feelings and relationships. For example, it speaks about running from danger and the feeling of being alive, while another explores wounded soldiers and their hopes, and others reflect fond memories or the pain of having lost something. As a whole, the poems remind us of the past, celebrate beauty and love, and wrestle with the pain of being separated and the fact that we all will die, giving readers a deep look at life.
