Description

Filled with canine inspiration, 64 of our most respected literary lights have looked at the world from their dogs' points of view and discovered an enlightened range of emotions. In styles as diverse as Arthur Miller's "Lola's Lament," Cynthia Heimel's "Sally," and Stephen Dunn's "Buster's Visitation," the results are by turns hilarious, silly, and deeply moving - as individual as the dogs themselves. The dogs hold forth formally (sonnets! villanelles! haiku!) and in free verse about the things that most concern them: food, play, food, and their masters. Masters?? Photographs and drawings of the dog poets accompany the verses.
