Poetry. This Deluxe Edition features premium glossy stock and
special ink, resulting in vibrant color images and print, and an
overall luxurious feel. Wendy Videlock's THE DARK GNU AND OTHER
POEMS plays, jokes, teaches, admonishes, yields to the ecstatic,
and strays into the shadowy where "If not for the dark, / no /
spark." All of this is heightened by striking full-color
illustrations from the author herself. There are stories that come
and go in a couple of blinks, and stories that linger and juggle
their way from hut to the market, to the fair, on a "swaying
dappled mare," to get to all the good to be had or done. Mother
Goose, myth, folklore, chants, lyrics and narratives are
well-represented. Like NEVERTHLESS, Videlock's first collection
also from Able Muse Press, THE DARK GNU abounds with fun, quirks,
wit, and wisdom, but this time to enchant and enlighten children of
all ages."Wendy Videlock's poems contain laughing pears, rhyming
coyotes, and jaded wind. In reading this book, I found myself
laughing and gasping in equal measures. And cursing, as well,
because Videlock is so damn good and I'm so damn jealous of her
talent. She is one of my very favorite poets."--Sherman Alexie
