Feb. 16, 1992

The Scottish poet George MacBeth died on February 16, 1992. He was fond of ginger colored cats, but this was not an exclusive love. He edited:
The Book of Cats (1976)
The Penguin Book of Animal Verse (1965)
The Penguin Book of Sick Verse (1963)
Victorian Verse: A Critical Anthology,(1986)

and then there was his own poetry.
