Wonderfully creative metaphors, perfect verbiage, and lovely poetry that will sit perched in my brain for a while to come!

This book has been nominated for the 2019 Elgin Award. Rating and review to follow. Let it be said, this was fun!

Alien invasion by an avian sentient race.

I don't have much else to say about this collection actually. It was a gas to read, very funny and enjoyable to read. Not really a contender for the Elgin Award, I'm afraid, but recommended none-the-less. The poems all hang together to tell a story, so it's a little more compelling reading than most collections.
