A fine and thought-provoking collection of poems featuring wild animals, though not all are in the wild. Many of the creatures here are exploited in some way, others are threatened with extinction. The poets represented include Wordsworth, Ted Hughes, Elizabeth Jennings, Eleanor Farjeon, Maya Angelou, Grace Nichols and Carl Sandburg, thus ranging over a variety of cultures and a wide timespan. This excellent book deserves a very large readership.
