As the book's blurb suggests, there's some humour blended in:
Cats in lab coats, running experiments on us. Robot
dogs roaming Mars. Space-faring canines who mistake alien vessels for fetch
toys. There are just some of the images you’ll find in here. With inspiration
from myths, news stories, nursery rhymes, personal experience, and a lifelong
interest in science fiction, the poems are written in a variety of styles for
your reading enjoyment.
Reaching from the distant past to the far future, and
points in between, Cats and Dogs in Space invites you to have some fun
re-imagining man’s best friend—and whatever it is that cats call themselves.
When we beamed the book to the future, here’s what
readers had to say:
“Purrfectly delightful! Enjoyable for readers of any
stripe. Some of these poems are enough to make a cat laugh!” Festus, ship’s cat
aboard the Silver Starr Spaceliner Frederika.
“Meaty as a prime rib bone, and just as much fun to
chew on! I’d give it two thumbs up—if I had opposable thumbs . . . ” Pepper,
K-9 Operative, Galactic Space Services
Here's hoping that people have as much fun reading it as I did writing it . . .
