Review
"Blehert's sense of fun is obvious in two new collections... Even the titles of these books make you smile... [His] poems are not simple commentaries on his two dogs and three cats. Rather, he uses relationships with the animals to get at issues such as love, death, joy and alienation." -- Mary Ann Grossman, Book Critic, Saint Paul Pioneer Press, July 20, 1997
"I can't idly browse through this book, not even for this review. Everywhere Blehert's poems grab me by the scruff of the neck and demand to be read aloud, or be read quietly to myself, but be read. It's like eating potato chips, you can't stop at just one... This is too good a book to keep selfishly. Buy two, one for you, one for your friends, and be grateful that Blehert has so accurately let us look at ourselves too, through our foibles as cats' caregivers and surrogate parents and servants" -- Gil Lamont, Mainstream Magazine, Spring, 1997
