Poet Ken Anderson continues to observe life's everyday events as
if seen reflected in a funhouse mirror. In this, his second
collection of poetry, Anderson presents a collection of humorous
and whimsical poems that provide a playful take on life.
Employing a variety of rhyming techniques, "The Mouse in the
Stout and Other Surprises" offers such oddities as a flock of
alcoholic robins and the hazards of playing the cello and the
French horn. It introduces charming ladies, including Barb, the
babe from Bickleton; Kelly, the rail-splittin' wife; and the girls
of Carbon County. It entertains with unconventional views of
Grimm's Fairy Tales and the love life of the praying mantis.
The poems in this collection reflect Anderson's love of
language, as in "Cities on the Sound." / She's called The Emerald
City / and she rises from the bay, / Sittin' with her pinkie
crooked / while sippin' Chardonnay; / The place that's named
Seattle stands, / superior and aloof, / Looking down on other
towns- / she thinks them quite uncouth. /
Accompanied by illustrations and with a keen sense of humor,
"The Mouse in the Stout and Other Surprises" delights with its
whimsical views of life.
