ANIMAL LOVE AND OTHER STUFF comprises four basic sections. The first part, "Animal Love," contains love poems in which the author addresses his mate as if they were both animals of the same species. Part two, "Other Animal Stuff," offers primarily light-toned verse involving animals, with a couple of prose pieces thrown in. The third section, "Somewhat More Serious Stuff," presents poems with considerably more sober themes than the other parts do. The fourth part, "Somewhat Less Serious Stuff and Other Inanities," easily qualifies as nonsense poery and prose. The writer wrote this stuff purely for fun and hopes readers will find a few laughs here.
