Author Description

"In the award-winning poet's seventh volume, the Blue Cat returns saucier and sassier than ever, 'a courteous, outspoken, well-read, somewhat randy anarchist ready again to lay down one of his lives for what he believes.' The poems that tell the story of the Cat's seemingly immortal existence set a standard for a contemporary poetry adequate to our experience, a crafted, moral poetry through which we reach some understanding of love and of anguish. This... book features original art by Natalya Balnova and is accompanied by a CD recording of the author reading The Return of the Blue Cat to the music of the improvisational jazz trio Exit 59"--From Amazon.com.
