A few years ago I worked on a book with DePaul poetry professor Chris Green. Here is a statement from Mr. Green:
"About 8 years ago, Steve Hamann and I created NEW ZOO: IMAGINED BEASTS A-Z—I wrote the poems about hybrid animals, and Steve did the amazing drawings. We were never able to find a publisher, so I’m thinking it’s time we share the book one poem/letter a day. An abecedarium is both common and rare. For billions of years, drowsy parents, teachers, and children have read ABC books about the planet’s worn-out animals. We’re all aging fast, but all we know is that we’re all a little young. We need novel illustrations and doggerel written by immature poets. "
Take a look. I'll post the second half soon.
