For more than four decades, former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins has delighted readers with his insight, wit, and clear poetic voice. In “Dog Show,” “America’s favorite poet” (The Wall Street Journal) illuminates America’s favorite pet (sorry, cat lovers). In twenty-five poems, Collins distills the many ways dogs warm our hearts, from the happiness we experience as we watch a dog run unencumbered by our burdens, to the silliness of cradling a dog in our arms as we step on the scale together. Turning his inimitable eye and ear to the complexities of dog behavior, Collins ponders all that these winning creatures give us and what we learn from them about ourselves.
