About
In this series of parodies, John Heath-Stubbs makes six of the cats celebrated by English poets speak in their own persons and in the style of their owners. They range from Dr. Johnson's cat, Hodge, to an anonymous caller on T.S.Eliot. No one who cares either for poetry or for cats can afford to miss this book.
Reviews
Peter Levi, The Times
I bought a dozen copies of Cats Parnassus to give away. This is a marvellously clever and funny pamphlet.

Arthur Moyse, Freedom
The pleasure for me in reading these well produced books is the poetry of Heath-Stubbs, running in harness with the truly delightful drawings of Emily Johns.

Michael Meyer, The Guardian
"One of the leading poets of his generation, he believed his progressive blindness stimulated his imagination. John Heath-Stubbs provided a link to poetry as it was before modernism and the second world war, and to a form that predated the emergence of English as a language, the epic. None the less, he was no reactionary, but a major poet who displayed considerable versatility in his prolific output, which continued till the end of the 20th century.”
