Inspirational. Infuriating. Hilarious. Trip hazard. Stanley the rough-haired lurcher is all of these things and more. Stanley & Other Poems is this writer's attempt to capture the character of a lummoxing great hound in a series of poems. It's basically one, long love letter to a dog. With a few drawings. If you've ever had a dog, you'll understand. And if you've never had a dog, maybe this'll inspire you to get one.
