Synopsis
In this special collection of poems inspired by dogs, former U.S. Poet Laureate and New York Times bestselling author Billy Collins captures the essence and mystery of our beloved companions—featuring striking canine portraits in watercolors by Pamela Sztybel
“Collins remains the most companionable of poetic companions.”—The New York Times
Billy Collins''s Dog Show celebrates the joy of our canine best friends, honoring the love we feel for these animals who play vital roles in so many of our lives. In twenty-five poems, Collins distills the many emotions dogs bring us, from the happiness we feel as we watch a dog trot out the door unencumbered by our burdens, to the silliness of holding a dog in our arms as we step on the scale together. Turning his inimitable eye and ear to the complexities of dog behavior, Collins ponders all that these winning creatures give us and what we learn from them about ourselves.
For more than four decades Billy Collins has delighted readers with his insight, wit, and clear poetic voice. In Dog Show, "America''s favorite poet" (Wall Street Journal) illuminates America''s favorite pet (sorry, cat lovers). Accompanied by Pamela Sztybel''s watercolors that effortlessly depict a dog''s humble grace, Dog Show reveals the profound role dogs play in our lives and the meaning they give us.
