HOW TO DO THE GREASED WOMBAT SLIDE
How to Do the Greased Wombat Slide will dance poetry lovers away to places you never knew poems could go. This fifth collection from Chicago poet Pamela Miller (author of Recipe for Disaster and Miss Unthinkable) is a constantly surprising jamboree of surreal situations (“She has teeth inside her teeth inside her teeth”), wildly inventive wordplay (“We’re the muck-it-up bungle-thumbs failure brigade”), and zany humor (“When the going gets tough, the tough yell “FOGHORN!”).Yet as poet Ralph Hamilton (Teaching a Man to Unstick His Tail) says, “Beneath their surface pleasures, these poems resonate with Miller’s generous and exuberant delight in our weird and wounded humanity.”
