Book Description
From Chaucer to Billy Collins and from basset hounds to brindle bull terriers, Doggerel presents a robust brood of the most charming verse tributes ever offered to our beloved canine companions. The rich and assorted cadences of some of the most distinguished poets across the centuries ring out from these pages–from Spenser, Shakespeare, and Pope to Merrill, Merwin, and Muldoon–celebrating pooches of every pedigree and persuasion. Here is Margaret Cavendish’s barking chorus of beagles on the hunt; Elizabeth Bishop’s “Pink Dog” alongside Robyn Selman’s “My Dog is Named for Elizabeth Bishop”; Charles Baxter’s villanelle “Dog Kibble,” whose dog-narrator decides that “Life isn’t meaningless because there’s food”; and the desultory charms of Jane Kenyon’s unleashed dog, nuzzling about on a drizzly afternoon. From lazy dogs curled up by the fireplace to audacious hounds howling at the moon, from mutts to purebreds, puppies to old dogs, Doggerel is an irresistible gathering of fast and faithful friends.

Book Description
Inside this book is a wonderful pot-pourri of delights. They come in all shapes and sizes to fascinate and entertain the reader. Most are rhymed; some are short and quirky and some longer to tell mini short stories. There are amusing cautionary tales, funny reports on bad buses, a medieval wedding tale tragedy, tower blocks in London and a holiday rap! All in all, this is a veritable “doggerel’s breakfast” full of entertainment. If you yearn to be a performer of poetry, this book offers you some excellent choices; they all sound good when spoken out loud. “My Doggerel is my best friend. He’s been with me for years.I love his shaggy baggy coat and silly billy ears.”
