Humans and Other Animals

Advance praise for 'HUMANS and other ANIMALS' 


'(Gainor)'s insights into the behavior of both humans and animals are philosophical and humorous .... I guarantee you will never look at a badger, or a cuiza, or a sandpiper in the same way ever again ..... An unforgettable emotional journey.... You will be rewarded with laughter, perhaps a tear or two, and an abundance of joy.' 

—Susan Appleyard, author of historical fiction, including 'In a Gilded Cage,' 'Queen of Trial and Sorrow,' 'The First Plantagenet,' 'Dark Spirit: Ludwig II, the Mad King of Bavaria,' 'The Remorseless Queen,' and 'This Sun of York' 


'Poet Paul Edward Gainor touches upon those special moments that only a poet could describe with such simplicity and beauty. We have a connection to our world, our earth. In the end our human race is judged by our compassion for all living things.... A wonderful collection of tender moments. I was deeply moved.' 

—Joylene Nowell Butler, award-winning author of psychological thrillers: 'Dead Witness,' 'Maski: Broken But Not Dead,' 'Matowak: Woman Who Cries,' and 'steampunk anthology, Break Time' 


'This book is the Porsche of poetry.... When a book ... causes a smile, has me laughing out loud and brings a tear to my eye, I'm hooked! 'HUMANs and other ANIMALS' is that book.' 

—Brenda C. Hill, editor, writing coach and co-author of 'SUCCESS: Your Path to a Successful Book' and 'Cooking Secrets: The Why and How.'
