Rapunzels Parrot by le moins cher Bradley, Jerry NEUF

This delightful retelling of the old familiar fairy tales is so much more than a mere trip back to the magical world of childhood. While the poems are inspired by the original tales, they are infused with clever comparisons, surprising modern connections, and hilarious insights into the lives of those famous characters and the plots they inhabit. As with Jerry Bradleys other collections of poetry, the poems in this collection offer original metaphors, striking images, and ideas to ponder-and yet are easy to read. Jerry Bradley is a master of lines and phrases that readers often remember and quote to others. Many of Bradleys poems surprise readers with unlikely comparisons that for most readers require at least a brief pause to ponder the connection and its meaning within the poem.
