Introduced and edited by the poet George MacBeth, the collection presents a sweeping range of voices — from canonical masters to lesser-known writers — all united by their fascination with creatures great and small. The anthology illustrates how animals have served as powerful symbols, mirrors of the human condition, and subjects of genuine wonder throughout literary history. MacBeth's authoritative editorial hand gives the collection a coherent vision, tracing the evolving relationship between humanity and the natural world through verse that is by turns celebratory, elegiac, and fiercely observant. It remains an essential volume for any reader with a love of poetry and the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956126986459,"sku":"2026200011032-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/91603acc-043e-47bb-bd8a-55c9b1e88067.png?v=1783498069","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011032-secondhand-the-penguin-book-of-animal-verse","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
