Klappentext

Winner of the Books Are My Bag Readers Award for Best Poetry Collection

'These poems pack a hefty emotional punch' Jackie Kay
'Every page of The Cat Prince brought me gladsome joy' Daljit Nagra
'The Peter Pan of poetry' Gutter Magazine

The Cat Prince & Other Poems is the third collection from prize-winning poet, and author of Boy Friends, Michael Pedersen.

All moggy moxie, Pedersen croons to the beauty and devastation of love, loss, friendship, cats and careless joy. Equal parts tender and trenchant, raw and ribald, plangent and smutty, these poems exhibit an emotionally charged, fantastical playground of language and lore.

These poems reveal a poet at his bravest and most vulnerable. The Cat Prince & Other Poems purrs with affection, flashes its teeth, then digs in the claws.
