Book Synopsis
A purrpurri of the literary legend's quirky and winsome cat poems, mediations, and drawings

Includes the hard-to-find The Art of Bunditsu and other delights from a lifetime of reflection on the mystery and magic of cats

The presence of a cat keeps me in touch with the mystery, the unreasonableness, the beauty, the stubborn wildness of the nonhuman world. In her life as in her art, Ursula K. Le Guin was fascinated by the feline. This irresistable little book gathers poems, mediations, and drawings dedicated to the complicated creature that her captured her imagination. Here are:

• The Art of Bunditsu, Le Guin's hard-to-find “tabbist” meditation on the arranging of cats
• Cat Poems, more than two dozen gems, many illustrated by Le Guin herself
• Supermouse Comix! Historic First Issue! Le Guin's one-of-a-kind cat comic book
• Cat Correspondence: a series of letters between Le Guin’s cat and those of her daughter detailing the Five Deliberations that cats spend their lives studying
• Cat Tai Chi, as depicted in a charming series of drawings

A must for cat lovers and Le Guin fans alike, this is the purr-fect literary companion for every reader.
