The Great Cat

Description

A series of small, handsome hardcover volumes devoted to the world's classic poets. Our books have twice as many pages as Bloomsbury Classics' 128pp. The binding, paper and production is visibly superior in every way to that of Bloomsbury. Series now contains 51 titles. Cats old and young, late lamented or very much alive; cats beautiful and mangy, British and foreign, ancient and modern; cats hunting, sleeping, scavenging, playing, fighting; cats as friends and companions, cats in love, and cats being superior, aloof and enigmatic as only cats know how...All are to be found in this lively anthology, which contains poems by Ted Hughes, T.S. Eliot, Keats, Hardy, Borges, Pessoa, Neruda, e.e. cummings, Thom Gunn, Wallace Stevens, Ogden Nash and a whole host of others.
