Cretaceous Verses

More about the book

A sampling of life on Earth seventy million years ago, the poetry collection Cretaceous Verses, gathered by collector MAT Hodges, scratches at the grit of history to reveal daily routines and emotions of our extinct predecessors. Most of the 37 poems tell stories of prehistoric life, and a few divine modern fables like the holiday tale of a reindeer with a glowing nose. From sonnet to stream-of-consciousness, these works are as varied as the lifestyles of the Cretaceous poets themselves. The compilation includes bios of the 31 dinosaur authors and is geared to human readers aged twelve and older.
