Award-winning Lebanese-American poet Ruth Awad discusses the anthology she co-edited with Rachel Mennies, The Familiar Wild: On Dogs & Poetry, which explores the multi-faceted relationships writers have with their dogs. We also discuss Ruth's 2016 collection, Set to Music a Wildfire, which stemmed from interviews she did with her father, largely about his experiences during the Lebanese Civil War.
