Everyone wants me to have a look at what this

I particularly liked List of Vegetables, which is the poem Jay first thought of to reccomend this book to me. I would like to like to live with the book longer and read the poems occasionally in that one chair that I read poetry Jay has written or reccomended to me in, but I am in the mood to return things to people in this strange early spring, so it will go back to him now.
Little fascinating poems that pretty consistently hit that perfect mixture of humor and emotion. Recommended to me by Mark Leidner, whose own poetry is not incredibly dissimilar.
I first thought these poems were the product of an ominous cave-whisperer; on re-reading I realized they were the product of someone who can sing in their own secret language. Lean in closer! You can't miss it. I loved this book.
