DOG POEMS - CHRISTOPHER WAIT KARTONIERT (TB)

Our canine companions offer us friendship  love  understanding  all unadulterated. They are our
joyful playmates and our furry shoulders to cry on  from the cradle to the grave. This book
brings together some of the finest poems on dogs by a range of poets from Diogenes to Dorothy
Parker  from Chaucer to Clarice Lispector. Gertrude Stein once said  I am I because my little
dog knows me  and this collection proves it: with their wit  their wisdom  and their delights 
these poems-and the dogs that inspired them-hold up a mirror to our better selves. Whether
exploding with the joy of a new puppy or mourning the loss of a tender lifelong friend 
growling a critique at the more civilized habits of humans or simply spending a day in the life
of a favorite pet  these poems offer something to dog lovers  poets  and poetry readers: in
short  just about everyone.
