Description

The Faber Book of Beasts is a collection of poems about the creatures that share our planet. From tame to wild, and common to exotic, this gathering of animal-inspired verse includes mammals, reptiles, birds, insects, and more. A zoologist's delight, this book celebrates the rich and thought-provoking connections between our humanity and the natural world. As Paul Muldoon notes in his introduction, we are most human in the presence of animals. This sense of how our humanity is illuminated by the contemplation of bestial life is at the heart of this collection. The results are wonderfully rich and thought-provoking, offering a unique perspective on the world around us. This new edition of The Faber Book of Beasts is a valuable addition to any poetry collection, showcasing the best of English poetry about the animal kingdom.
