Description

Cats have provided writers and artists with inspiration for as long as they have been winding themselves purring round their owners' legs and fixing them with their big, green eyes. The poems in this beautifully updated edition of our much-loved pamphlet introduce us to some wonderful cats and their amusing and endearing ways. We encounter a cat asking to be let in at the kitchen door then out again and a kitten that seems to believe it's a scarf, taking up residence around the poet's neck: Its purrbox is impressive, as it curls around my chest;little toe-beans flexing, as it makes my neck its nest. - from 'Wilful Accessory' by Lauren K Nixon It goes without saying that this pamphlet is best enjoyed with a cat on your lap. Poems by Charles Baudelaire, William Brighty Rands, William Cowper, Emily Dickinson, Jen Hadfield, Grace Nichols, Lauren K Nixon, Algernon Charles Swinburne, Anna Wigley and WB Yeats. Cover illustration by Sam Cannon. Includes one poetry pamphlet, eco-envelope and co-ordinating bookmark with space for your own personal message.
