Kingdom: poetry

Kingdom brings together for the first time the animal poems of Michael Cadnum. Cats, ants, whales-even the stubborn, lowly louse-here are thirty astonishing celebrations of the most intriguing and often overlooked creatures of the animal kingdom.Even the familiar creatures, like the Eagle and the Elephant, get new life in Cadnum's unusual book.As Rosemary Deen, the poetry editor of Commonweal Magazine, assures us in her introduction, "Paradoxically, the better the animals are seen, the more they are transformed."The Raccoon makes an appearance, and the Peacock, and the Giraffe. So do the Jack Rabbit and the covertly assertive Roe Deer. Thirty poems in all celebrate the open secrets of the lives around us.Rosemary Deen says "Anyone who really wants to see the world will read and reread these animal poems: Kingdom."
