Cats and haiku—from whimsy to mayhem in seventeen syllables. J. L. Williams’s KITTY HAIKU—Haiku For Cat Lovers, provides insights into the lives and personalities of felines. J. L. explores the full range of cats’ activities—from jumping to resting to hunting to resting to loving to resting. In addition to the playful inventiveness of the haikus, the book includes 43 insightful illustrations. In the haikus themselves, of course, J. L. imposed the discipline of form upon his verbal images. Anyone who has loved a cat—and everyone who loves language—will want to peruse KITTY HAIKU.
