Keibooks Announces Catzilla! List of Poets and Cover Cat
*Keibooks Announces Catzilla! List of Poets and Cover Cat*
Keibooks announces the final selection for *Catzilla! Tanka, Kyoka, and
Gogyohka About Cats.*Edited by M. Kei, the anthology features the work of
forty-five poets from around the world. The poets have written tanka, kyoka,
and gogyohka (all five line poems originally from Japan) in homage to our
funny, friendly, and infuriating feline companions. *Catzilla* will appear
in print and ebook formats September 15.
The cover cat, Timmynocky (Swedish for ‘thingamabob’), is a ship’s cat
serving aboard a tall ship on the East Coast of the United States. This
summer ‘Timmynocky the Sailor Cat’ achieved notoriety when the editor, M.
Kei, detailed his exploits on his blog.
Kei says, “Timmy kept showing up on the arms of beautiful women, got busted
by the cops, and was thrown into the brig (confined on a leash) after his
adventures ashore. In the cover photo he uses his considerable charm to
persuade us to let him off his leash so he can continue his run ashore. As
such, he typifies the mixture of charm and mischief that defines a
‘catzilla.’”
The full account of Timmynocky’s adventures can be read at <

Readers who would like to see more pictures of tall ships and sea cats are
invited to visit M. Kei’s photo site <http://picasaweb.google.com/Kujakupoet
>.
“Cats are highly evolved, intriguing, mysterious, ruled-by-no-one beings who
are mischievous bringers of unwanted gifts. Cats off to M. Kei for bringing
us a collection of tanka that tears at our heartstrings one moment and has
us gigling the next.” —Alexis Rotella, author of *Black Jack Judy and the
Crisco Kids*
