Whilst this is definitely a magazine for lovers of animals, it probably isn't for lovers of fine literature. Though many of the articles are interesting and quite well written, few of the so-called haiku are correctly labelled thus and many of the pieces, especially the poetry, are what I would term "twee".
Nonetheless it contains some gems such as Herbert Williams' set of poems about a hawk
He brought us trophiesAlso excellent are Loraine Stayer's story GRANDMOTHER TO A DUCK and Dr. Adolf P Shvedchikov's chilling COME, WE'VE FOUND YOUR LOST CAT.
with pride, put
mangled remains
at our feet
and could not understand our horror.

I left a comment for you on Hyde. I missed the reference to this blog until afterwards. I see you are a writer, as am I , but I'm sure I'm not nearly as experienced as you. Nevertheless you may be interested to see that I have done a re-write of R. D. Blackmore's "Mary Anerley."
ReplyDeleteI leave for vacation in the morning so can't follow up on your other blogs, I'm still packing! I return December 5th and will pick up again after that.
I'm glad you popped the link on from today's ABC. I must check this out now. I do find blogging and endless source of information.
