Lovely verse for animal & poetry lovers

I have been unreasonably fond of this little volume of sonnets since I stumbled onto it at the local public library more than ten years ago. The common subject of the sonnets is the unreasonable fondness some of us share for animals, and indeed for living with them. As a glimpse inside the volume will assure you, these verses are not jolly doggerel, but fine and serious poems.
