A soft paw against a leg. A lion’s rumbled purr. Tiny footprints in freshly fallen snow. A cat on a piano bench, preparing for a recital.
Lion in the Music Room is a curated collection of poems capturing the everyday pleasures of life with cats: moments of affection, contentment, longing, and the occasional shenanigans or sharp claw.
Tender, playful, and occasionally mischievous, these are poems for anyone who has ever been owned by a cat.
BIOGRAPHY Daan Katz is a literary fantasy author and poet from the Netherlands. Because he is a wheelchair user, diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Autism, he likes to write about disabled characters, who can be just as badass as any non-disabled character.
Born in 1963, as the second of three children, Daan grew up in The Hague, the Netherlands. From a very young age, Daan has been enchanted by stories, and he started writing his own stories as soon as he realised that he could.
When he's not torturing his innocent characters, Daan is a passionate amateur musician. He is a classical singer first, and a pianist second.
Last but not least, Daan is the dedicated servant to his three cats, Thalia, Rafaela, and Mozart.
