Across the ages, cats have provided their adopted humans with
companionship, affection, mystery and innumerable metaphors; cats
cast a mirror on their beholders; cats endlessly captivate and
hypnotise, frustrate and delight. And to poets, in particular,
these enigmatic creatures are the most delightful and beguiling of
muses (Charles Baudelaire: "the sole source of amusement in one's
lodgings") as they go about purring, prowling, hunting, playing,
meowing and napping, often oblivious to their so-called masters
(Jorge Luis Borges: "you live in other time, lord of your realm-a
world as closed and separate as a dream"). Cat Poems offers a
litter of odes to our beloved felines by Charles Baudelaire, Stevie
Smith, Christopher Smart, Denise Levertov, Lawrence Ferlinghetti,
Rainer Maria Rilke, Muriel Spark, William Carlos Williams, Ezra
Pound and many others.
