Win a signed print with Poets Square

To celebrate the publication of Poets Square: A Memoir in Thirty Cats by Courtney Gustafson we’re offering fans who pre-order the book the chance to win one of three exclusive foiled prints featuring stunning illustrations from the book, signed by the author.

This heartfelt memoir from the creator of @PoetsSquareCats is a love letter to community in a broken society, told through the cats Courtney meets in dark alleys, neglected homes and her own driveway; cats she cherishes and must sometimes let go. Above all, she explores what her encounters with feral cats can teach us about care, connectedness and the power of hope.

To enter this prize draw, pre-order the hardback, eBook or audiobook edition of Poets Square and fill in the form below by 23:59 GMT on Wednesday 7th May 2025. The winners will be required to submit proof of purchase.
