From the Inside Flap:
From Chaucer to Billy Collins and from basset hounds to brindle bull terriers, Doggerel presents a robust brood of the most charming verse tributes ever offered to our beloved canine companions.
The rich and assorted cadences of some of the most distinguished poets across the centuries ring out from these pages?from Spenser, Shakespeare, and Pope to Merrill, Merwin, and Muldoon?celebrating pooches of every pedigree and persuasion. Here is Margaret Cavendish?s barking chorus of beagles on the hunt; Elizabeth Bishop?s ?Pink Dog? alongside Robyn Selman?s ?My Dog is Named for Elizabeth Bishop?; Charles Baxter?s villanelle ?Dog Kibble,? whose dog-narrator decides that ?Life isn?t meaningless because there?s food?; and the desultory charms of Jane Kenyon?s unleashed dog, nuzzling about on a drizzly afternoon. From lazy dogs curled up by the fireplace to audacious hounds howling at the moon, from mutts to purebreds, puppies to old dogs, Doggerel is an irresistible gathering of fast and faithful friends.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. If you believe that a dog is man's - and woman's - best friend, this is the anthology for you- six hundred years of reflections on the virtues (and some of the vices) of canine kind. Within these pages you will find a large selection of animals and an even larger variety of poets, some big and cuddly, others small and well-equipped with teeth. Dame Juliana Berners anatomizes a good greyhound, Lord Byron laments his best friend, Louis MacNeice describes an afternoon walk, William Wordsworth watches the hunt, Thomas Hardy imagines his favourite companion speaking. They are joined by Anne Sexton, Siegfried Sassoon, Alexander Pope, Rudyard Kipling, Dorothy Parker, Geoffrey Chaucer and a pack of others in hot pursuit of the same objective- the essence of dog. If you believe that a dog is mans and womans best friend, this is the anthology for you: six hundred years of reflections on the virtues (and some of the vices) of canine kind.
