Reading these poems will alter your thinking about a good many of the things that share heaven and earth with us.\"--Mark Jarman, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Heronry\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDailiness\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Warren goes anywhere, inhabits anything: it is fun to see a poet so willing to embrace metamorphosis . . . A great book.\"―\u003ci\u003eThe Millions\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDeborah Warren's witty and energetic poems are full of play and imagination. The title poem of \u003ci\u003eConnoisseurs of Worms\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"Paul Dry Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54418416566577,"sku":"9781589881563","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0838\/3922\/2065\/files\/imageloader_8d2693c5-937f-424d-803e-0344e959be0f.jpg?v=1780525569","url":"https:\/\/bainbridgeisland.press\/products\/connoisseurs-of-worms","provider":"Bainbridge Island Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
