THE POET is a daily comic strip that celebrates life's little moments through the eyes of a poet, his spirited pigeon companion, and even - occasionally - a talking park bench. This volume collects the entire first year of the strip, inviting you to embark on a delightful and life-affirming walk in the park, sure to enchant new readers (of any age) and longtime fans alike. The charming and gentle world of THE POET is definitively presented here, with a foreword by Denis Kitchen, a new afterword, and an extensive notes section.
