There have been many bestiaries written through the ages, describing and categorizing the various beasts of the world, both tangible and imaginary. What I have never before seen in print is a bestiary that collects the strange and wonderful poetry creatures that walk the pathways between here and there, then and now. I am poet and a hunter of poems, searching the world and my own mind for the poem beasts that hide around every corner. I hope you enjoy this introduction to just a few of the many poetry beings that I have encountered through the years, and I encourage you to watch for where you may find them in your own life.
