A heartwarming collection of short verse celebrating our beloved pets and the wonder of life Daniel Ladinsky is the internationally acclaimed poet and translator known for his inspired, contemporary versions of works by Hafiz, Rumi, St. Francis of Assisi, and poet-saints East and West. Patrick McDonnell is the venerated author, artist, and creator of the beloved MUTTS comic strip. In Darling, I Love You these two artists have collaborated for the first time to create a delightful, universal collection of sweet, welcome-to-the-moment poems about the essential places animals and wonder hold in our lives and in our hearts, accompanied by line drawings of the illustrious MUTTS characters that readers have come to know and love. "Pet owners will chuckle knowingly about the way the speakers shift between simple observations and deeper statements . . . that remind us why humans need animals as much as they need us." -- The Washington Post
This is a book that will leave you feel warm and fuzzy. It’s a bittersweet set of poems from our pets and how we feel about them. I love to look through and reread this book because on my bad days it manages to give me just a little bit of peace. I feel like this is an excellent addition to any animal lover or poets collection. There are elements of Christianity in it, but they’re not so overwhelming that even someone who doesn’t believe in Christianity can still enjoy this book. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who could use a little pick me up every now and then! Happy reading x
