These witty and energetic poems are full of play and imagination. Here's Deborah Warren's brief description: "The title poem of Connoisseurs of Worms describes the mole, a 'geonaut supreme' with his oddly enviable tunnel vision. Other animals prompt views about humans, and not always happy ones. Alongside Charlemagne's elephant and an intracoronary mosquito, topics include a queen with an alleged tail, laughter-divination, Neanderthal hygiene, and an exploding baby." These poems delight in new perspectives and an astounding verbal music.
