A Box of Crazy Toys: 100 Liquid Landscapes

Poetry. Is it possible that anything you can conceive, with any combination of words, can, in the fullness of time, manifest itself materially? Some such thought will be prompted by the reading of any of the 100 liquid landscapes in Peter Dellolio's surrealist collection, A BOX OF CRAZY TOYS."I have tried to give the reader a meal of different meanings, to alter the ingredients of the recipes, to grow the vegetables in some exotic, rich and strange soil... Language, especially poetry, gives the imagination the upper hand because words allow us to see the invisible, the irrational, the bizarre and the impossible."--From the author's Preface."A tiger with red clarinet legs requires that you handle him with kit gloves. Where do you find them? Frantic, you turn to this sparkling book, which is a compendium of keys to very serious issues. Everything in it is in disguise, but eager to have you find the key, which is shining, under something, waiting for you. Just for you."--Sam Eisenstein
