Cat Poems
Cat Poems | Tynan Kogane
5 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
A gorgeous gift edition, dedicated to the mystery, grace, and charm of the cat Across the ages, cats have provided their adopted humans with companionship, affection, mystery, and innumerable metaphors; cats cast a mirror on their beholders; cats endlessly captivate and hypnotize, frustrate and delight. And to poets, in particular, these enigmatic creatures are the most delightful and beguiling of muses (Charles Baudelaire: the sole source of amusement in ones lodgings) as they go about purring, prowling, hunting, playing, meowing, and napping, often oblivious to their so-called masters (Jorge Luis Borges: you live in other time, lord of your realma world as closed and separate as a dream). Cat Poems offers a litter of odes to our beloved felines by Charles Baudelaire, Stevie Smith, Christopher Smart, Denise Levertov, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Rainer Maria Rilke, Muriel Spark, William Carlos Williams, Ezra Pound, and many others.

Mehso-so

Oops, forgot to take a final picture. Wasn't entirely a fan, none of the poems really stood out to me, they felt like they were trying too hard but maybe that's what poetry is? Still I did think it was interesting that so many poems existed about 😼😼 #impulseread #wintergames #tmskellington #24B42020

Oh boy, idk if you can tell but the text is very hard to read, I wonder if there was a printing error 🤔🤔 #tmskellington #wintergames @clwojick @StayCurious

Not book related, but it's Crookshanks' first birthday! 🐈🎂🎉

To make it book related I had him pose with my book of cat poems. I'm not a big fan of poetry, but some of the poems are nice.
