Literate. Illiterate. Bewitching…. In his debut collection—a nine part whimsical discourse—Canadian author/artist Rolli waxes poetic about everything under “the muscular sun.” There are poems about peaches and plums, about desperate celebs and monster poets, mistresses and mummified cats. Strange, celebratory, self-mocking, these are poems to be gulped down like summer fruit. By Canada’s Rolli, recipient of the 2007 John Kenneth Galbraith Literary Award; and a winner of the 2008/2009 Commonwealth Short Story Competition. With full-color illustrations by the author.
