Book Description:

The Faber Book of Beasts, edited by Paul Muldoon, is a wonderfully rich and through-provoking poetry anthology - and a wonderfully entertaining one - which explores the sense that our humanity is illuminated by the contemplation of bestial life: a life this anthology sets out to celebrate.
