The “powerful and haunting” biography of a star circus elephant who rebelled against her handlers and finally found freedom (Jane Goodall). Against the backdrop of a glittering but brutal circus world, Last Chain on Billie charts the history of elephants in America, the inspiring story of Tennessee’s Elephant Sanctuary, and the spellbinding tale of a resilient elephant who survived a decade of captivity. Left in the wild, Billie the elephant would have been free to wander the jungles of Asia with her family. Instead, traders captured her as a baby and shipped her to America, where circus trainers taught her to carry humans, stand on a tub and balance on one leg. For decades, Billie crisscrossed the country under miserable conditions—chained, beaten, and forced to perform stunts under harsh lights and blaring music. Finally, she got a lucky break. As part of the largest elephant rescue in American history, Billie wound up at a sanctuary for performing elephants in Tennessee. But, overcome with anxiety, she withdrew from the rest of the elephants and refused to let anyone remove a chain still clamped around her leg. Her caregivers began to wonder if Billie could ever escape her emotional wounds.

"I no longer want to drown in life's waves, I want Lungs Like Elephants." An exercise in honesty and catharsis, "Lungs Like Elephants" champions a heart-on-my-sleeve ethos across its eclectic collection of poems. Though they vary greatly, Dawn's open-hearted wrestling ties these poems together into a candid journey of growth that feels true-to-life. The poems ping-pong between topics and time as she seeks to come to terms with where she has been, where she is, and where she is going. Dawn struggles with mistakes, anxiety, heart-break, and trauma while also gushing over her husband and finding beauty and joy in her past failures. To put it simply, life is difficult and complicated and beautiful and worth it and hard and beautiful, We start and fail and try again. We end up finally getting somewhere a little more each time, no matter how difficult the journey. This is the spirit of "Lungs Like Elephants": Dawn laying bare her life, in all its pain and joy, the inconsistencies and all, and boldly, bravely grappling for herself and her future. - Chris Bernstorf
