Cat Poems
Cats have inspired poets for centuries. Their grace, their inscrutability, their sudden violence, their tender affection—all have found their way into verse that captures something essential about both cats and the human experience. This carefully curated anthology brings together the finest feline poetry from across literary history.
From Christopher Smart's ecstatic celebration of his cat Jeoffry to Charles Baudelaire's sensual meditations, from T.S. Eliot's whimsical naming of cats to contemporary voices exploring the mystery and companionship cats offer, this collection reveals how poets have used cats to explore themes of independence, beauty, mortality, and wonder. Each poem is a small window into the feline world—and into the soul of the poet who wrote it.
At just 96 pages in an elegant, pocket-sized paperback, Cat Poems is the perfect companion for quiet moments. Slip it into a bag, keep it by your bedside, or gift it to the poetry-loving cat enthusiast in your life. Published by Serpent's Tail, this is a beautifully designed addition to any literary collection.
Perfect for cat lovers, poetry readers, and anyone who understands that the best way to honour a cat is through language as precise and mysterious as they are.
