    About this ebook

    Arranged in four acts, this collection of poems merrily experiments with voice, performance, and medium, exploring the craft through monologues, dialogues, choruses, songs, scene sets, and storyboards. Filled with experimental and stirring language, this anthology includes a piece confronting global warming as well as dramatic and satiric verse arranged with swagger and aplomb, citing surprising and surreal moments such as a seal reciting the poetry of R. A. K. Mason and a goat tied to a theater door. An array of serious and calm lyric poems balance out this assortment, creating a diverse miscellany that is as playful as it is profound.
