Dogs in verse -- from Homer to Wordsworth to Gwendolyn BrooksDogs are at once among the most ordinary of animals and the most beloved by mankind. Homer recounts how Odysseus's loyal dog recognizes his master even after his long absence. But what we may not realize is that for as long as we have loved dogs, our poets have been seriously engaged with them as well.In this collection, English professor Duncan Wu digs into the wealth of poetry about our furry friends to show how varied and intimate our relationships with them have been over the centuries.
And a multitude of writers, from Lord Byron to Emily Dickinson, have turned to poetry to mourn the loss of beloved dogs. Thomas Hardy wrote poems from a pooch's perspective, conveying a powerful sense of dogs' innocent and trusting nature. Rich and inviting, Dog-eared is a spellbinding collection of poetic musings
