Purr

Posing, snoozing, stretching, staring and other delights of the feline lifestyle are documented in poems by James Servin, whose last collection, Radical Sentimentality, introduced readers to the fabulous kitty foursome: Melanie, Andy, Toby, and Moses. Let the language of Purr (with an occasional meow thrown in for good measure) welcome you again into their sweet, sleepy world. In Part Two, "The Human Parade," people-watching takes a playful spin. A New York-based journalist, Servin has recently contributed stories to Vogue Living, Martha Stewart Living, and Page Six Magazine. He is the features editor of BlackBook magazine.
