Henderson, Stewart

All Things Weird and Wonderful

Another collection of quirky, thought-provoking, and highly entertaining poems from a performance poet with an increasing fan base. In this collection, Stewart Henderson looks at creation in its broadest sense—from the depths of the sea, to the breadth of the earth, and the realms of space and sky. The poems feature many aspects of the plant and animal world, both real and imaginary, and are often shown from the perspective of a child (answering curious questions, or helping him or her to understand more about his/her place in the universe). Poems include short humorous verses, longer narrative poems, and the poet's inimitable "wry thoughts."
