Grimalkin & Other Poems is Thomas Lynch's second publication of poetry and is very scarce to find. The poem "Grimalkin" is in itself about a cat he hated (and still does) and a boy he loves (his son Michael). The name Grimalkin is actually a Shakespearean word ... a fat old lazy gray she-cat which defines to a tee this cat that he hated.

Reviews:
The poems in this volume are all concerned, one way or another, with achieving a balance in the face of gravity. Lynch looks for this equilibrium between equal and opposing forces, such as sex and death, and love and grief - all the things that make us mortal and memorable.
