Argentine Dogs // Perros Argentinos: Wild Poems and Related Stories - Paperback

Massey, Justine Marrion: - Justine Marrion Massey is an author, artist, and attorney. Growing up watching sunsets over the ocean on the foggy North Coast of California, she was nurtured by a mixed forest of fir, redwood, oak, and madrone. The land taught her about being human in the context of nature and about life hiding under leaves. Justine was first introduced to Spanish in a bilingual kindergarten class and pursued the language enthusiastically. This opened doors to learn directly from various cultures, starting at the age of sixteen in Honduras via Amigos de las Américas. Justine holds degrees from Stanford University, the National University of Art in Argentina, and University of California Davis School of Law. She completed a Levinthal Tutorial for poetry and was a co-recipient of the Beagle II Award. During nearly four years spent between Argentina and Uruguay, she developed projects such as (((BOOM))): Global Creative Action and Tejer las Américas // Weave the Americas, and also interned with UNESCO in the Intergovernmental Hydrological Program in Montevideo. Justine attended the 75th United Nations General Assembly and contributed to a Special Rapporteur's 2020 report outlining the reciprocal effects of climate change and culture. She has worked to uphold the Human Right to Water in California and advances nature-based solutions to phase out fossil fuel emissions and increase community resilience.
