Insectasides: Great Poets on Man's Pest Friend

Rating:
Summary: YOU'LL NEVER SWAT AGAIN
Review: These wry, witty portraits of man's best irritants are fun to look at and chuckle-provoking to read. Brought to life by the words of such diverse poets as Wordsworth, William Blake and Sylvia Plath, insects buzz, hum, skitter and fly across the pages.

Of course, no tongue-in-cheek collection would be complete without a few verses from Ogden Nash.

Each poem is illustrated by a bold full-page linocut by award winning printmaker and sculptor Martha Paulos. In her talented hands many of these miniscule mites take on human characteristics. You may recognize friends and neighbors.
