Synopsis

The Blue Cat is a courteous, outspoken, well-read, somewhat randy anarchist ready again to lay down one of his lives for what he believes. He's a cross between Top Cat, Puss in Boots, Schrodinger's Cat and the Cat in a Hat. He's a trickster, a prankster, an illusionist and an illusion. And he's back.The Blue Cat Walks the Earth is the third book in which Frank Reeve has let the Blue Cat out of the bag. He's a couple of years older, but he's still the actor he was. The only way he can get people to listen is to pretend he's not saying what he is saying. Of course, he's telling the truth. And of course, you don't have to believe him. Nine lives out of ten, the truth is unbelievable. This book comes with a CD of Frank Reeve reading these new poems accompanied by Don Davis on sax and Joe Deleault on piano. Frank Reeve is an award-winning American poet, novelist, short story writer, critic and translator. As a young man he drove combine-harvesters in the Midwest wheat fields, and worked as a longshoreman on the Hudson River docks. He taught in Moscow and Leningrad for a while and translated for Robert Frost when he met Nikita Kruschev in 1962. He was emeritus professor at Wesleyan University until his death in 2013.
