Zebra Feathers

In "Zebra Feathers," seasoned performance poet Morris Stegosaurus delivers his inimitably slick and brilliant wordplay via page, losing none of his bombast. He offers readers a bizarre, hilarious romp through a world of plush anthropomorphic animals, mystical surrealism, and absurdist commentary on our own increasingly cartoonish culture. Yet, even at its most dizzyingly psychedelic, the poems maintain a vital core of vulnerability: the poetic tradition of loneliness, the outsider's struggle to understand why "normal" people laugh and cry at the wrong things. "Zebra Feathers" is all at once an allegory, a satire, and a completely authentic vision of reality as seen through the eyes of diapered puppy dogs and flying zebras. - Evan J. Peterson, editor
