What is PET POEMS (also not just pets)?
Award-winning poet Sean Petrie (of Typewriter Rodeo) took a selection of Amanda Hoxworth’s paintings and found the poems in each —
“What’s going on with this dog?”
“Why is that gecko smiling?”
“If those jellyfish could talk…”
“Hi I love Pet Poems.”
From odes to playing fetch (“Ball is ALL”),
to poems celebrating identity (“Call Me Galaxy, Please”).
Ā A collection of ekphrastic poetry and art, reminiscent of Shel Silverstein’s Where the Sidewalk Ends and Mary Oliver’sĀ Dog Songs.
