Poetry for Pups

Dive into the profound connection between humans and their beloved canine companions with "Poetry for Pups," an enchanting debut poetry collection by Susan Seah. Through a tapestry of evocative verses, Susan skillfully brings to life the remarkable relationship shared between people and their loyal four-legged friends―those cherished members of the family, steadfast soothsayers, and unbreakable confidantes.

Within the pages of this collection, Susan unveils a gallery of canine characters, each lovingly portrayed through humorous anecdotes, heartwarming stories, and soulful musings. With each poem, she delves into the whimsical antics, unspoken thoughts, and imagined conversations she has shared with the pups who have graced her life.

In the poignant poem titled "35," Susan grapples with the bittersweet truth of a dog's lifespan, expressing her earnest desire for her pup to live a robust 35 years. In another piece titled "I wish you could talk," she captures the universal yearning that dog owners harbor―to engage in playful exchanges that bridge the gap between human and canine understanding. At its core, "Poetry for Pups" celebrates the symbiotic relationship, unbreakable bond, and profound affection that weave through the lives of both people and their beloved dogs.

A touching tribute to the unconditional love that emanates from our furry companions, this collection is an essential read for every dog lover. But it's not just for humans―dogs, with the help of their human companions, are sure to find delight and recognition within these pages too.

One of Susan Seah's greatest joys is trying to be a 'tiger mommy' to her adorable beagle pups, but often finding herself surrendering to their whims and fancies. From the moment she became a dog mom over two decades ago, her life has been filled with adventures, inspiration, and unconditional love from her fur babies.

Beyond precious moments with her canine companions, Susan wears the hat of a corporate and technology lawyer, a vocation that stands alongside her dedication to empower women as the CEO and Founder of The Koa Club―an endeavor that has earned her recognition in various magazines and news outlets. Hailing originally from Singapore, Susan now resides in Seattle with her husband and book illustrator, Morgan Boyle, where her days are seamlessly intertwined with both her professional pursuits and her cherished role as a dog mom. Morgan Boyle has always enjoyed being around dogs and was lucky enough to find his sweet little beagle Koa, who is the joy in his life. His background in art and photography allows him to share a glimpse
into his fondness for his canine companions. He has publicly displayed his photographic work at the Canon Gallery in Honolulu, Hawaii through the "Vision and Discovery", an event sponsored by Pacific New Media. He was also selected to display his photography three years in a row at "Contemporary Photography in
Hawaii", an annual surveyed exhibition of juried works.
