Buddha’s Cat: Poems
$15.00If there’s ever been a beloved animal in your life, this is the book for you.
Humans have lived with canines and felines for thousands of years. In Buddha’s Cat, poet Wayne Lee explores that relationship, not just with our domesticated companions, but also with wolves, foxes, bobcats, coyotes, panthers and other wild species. These poems range from tender to tragic, funny to ferocious. They include paeans to beloved pets, elegies for victims of cruelty and encroachment, and four-legged metaphors for human behavior. You’ll love Prana and George, laugh at Beach Dog and Caliban, grieve for Rusty and Morgan, and marvel at Logo and Heyoka. Buddha’s Cat will entertain, instruct and help you connect in new ways with the “wild heart” beating within your savage breast.
