Owl Critic

by James Thomas Fields

The Owl Critic is a collection of humorous poems by James T. Fields, a prominent American publisher and poet of the 19th century. The poems often satirize the literary world, presenting witty observations on poets, critics, and the process of artistic creation itself. The poems are lighthearted and playful, with a focus on wordplay and clever rhymes. Fields's use of humor and satire to explore the world of literature makes this a book that is both entertaining and insightful.
