Poets Square: A Memoir in Thirty Cats
by Courtney Gustafson
Very well crafted in both prose and in structure.
The intertwining stories of the cats and of Gustafson’s own life made for a very compelling read. I was very moved by her story of caring for the stray cats on her property. There are so many complex topics explored in this memoir, from systemic poverty to misogyny to loneliness to hunger to community, and all of these themes are so carefully tied to stories of the cats that Gusafson cares for.
My only critique is that this book ended fairly abruptly. I think that it would have benefited from an epilogue or some sort of closing paragraph.
