In this debut chapbook, poet Michael Schonberg invites readers into the lively, heartwarming world of pet ownership with Sammy and Lucy and Petee and Stella - Animal Tales. Through a collection of tender and humorous poems, Schonberg captures the everyday adventures and responsibilities of caring for our beloved animal companions. From the first hesitant request for a pet to the complex dynamics of a multi-pet household, these verses explore the deep bonds and unspoken communication between humans and their furry friends. This collection is a must-read for anyone who loved a pet, celebrated their quirks, or navigated the bittersweet reality of watching them grow older just as we do.
Drawing inspiration from his beloved pets, Michael Schonberg’s debut poetry collection beautifully captures the heartwarming and often humorous moments that pet owners can relate to. Sammy & Lucy & Petee & Stella offers a delightful combination of poetry and storytelling that is refreshingly straightforward and compelling. Michael’s sincere and genuine approach to storytelling promises to captivate readers of all ages.
