Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a cat trapped in a world of dogs? This gorgeous volume collects the #1 best selling poetry chapbooks Love at the Bottom of the Litter Box and Death of a Scratching Post, and combines them with all-new sad, funny, and thoughtful cat-themed poems written especially for this Best of Raw Underground Poetry collector's edition.
There's a cat or kitten in every poem, and while they are definitely the stars of some, other poems are more about their owners: their loneliness, challenge to fit in, and the creative struggle.
- SAMPLE POEMS -"YOU HAD ME AT MEOW"
You had me at "meow," my friend.
You had me with three sleepy blinks,
with the tender flick of your tail,
the purr in your throat.
You had me with all these things:
treasured moments
curling in my lap.
"MY BEST FRIENDS ARE CATS"
My best friends are cats.
They are me, and I am them.
We both love our routines
and hate anything that disturbs them.
We do what we want,
when we want.
We're happy being alone,
but happy to be together when it suits us.
We're loyal.
We love deeply,
and when that love is broken,
we slink away to lick our wounds.
We'll never fit in,
even when we try.
Especially when we try.
And so we stop trying to fit in
and start trying to be ourselves.
