The Cat Prince

Sorry you are too late, this event has been and gone!

Embrace the cat life in this extra special event at Maison de Moggy cat cafe with The Cat Prince himself, prize-winning poet Michael Pedersen.

About The Cat Prince

The Cat Prince & Other Poems (Little Brown) is the third collection from acclaimed poet, and author of Boy Friends, Michael Pedersen. Rich unfolding imagery tumbles off the page in this humorous and tender new collection, taking us from the blunt devastation of grief to ecstatic arch back boys yowling in the backyard. If ever there was to be an immersive reading of this book it would be in Maison de Moggy cat cafe with stunning felines strutting around as the words pounce free. And so it is and shall be.

This show is offsite at Maison de Moggy, 17 West Port, Edinburgh EH1 2JA
