Paperback. Zustand: Good. The Red Ear Blows Its Nose is a dazzling tour de force (Kenn Nesbitt). Often hilarious, always thoughtful, this debut collection from award-winning poet Robert Schechter proves that he is clearly one of the most accomplished poets writing for children today (Valerie Bloom MBE). Complemented by S. Federico's charming illustrations, The Red Ear Blows Its Nose will delight both children and adults alike, and is destined to become a classic, standing alongside A Child's Garden of Verses, Now We Are Six, and Where the Sidewalk Ends on children's and library bookshelves for years to come.PRAISE FOR THE RED EAR BLOWS ITS NOSE: Short, punchy, and clever poems, as if Shel Silverstein and Ogden Nash had a baby. Some are only two lines long. My favorite: When livestock salesmen cannot sleep, / do they lie in bed discounting sheep? Wow -Jane Yolen, author of the How Do Dinosaurs booksWhat a splendid collection of poetry. Here are poems that fizz with imagination, wisdom, and an infectious exuberance at the sheer wonder of words. Beautifully crafted and terrifically funny, this is a book for children (and grown-ups) to return to again and again.-Kate Wakeling, winner, 2017 CLiPPA (UK)You'll feel like a cool in-the-know one when you read Robert Schechter's clever collection of poems. This book will open your mind up to a world where foxes cartwheel through trombones, a horse might choose to moo, and you can dive into a lake filled with yellow puffs of popcorn. Children who are reading (and thinking) beyond their age level will love it; you will, too. If you're a fan of John Ciardi and Richard Wilbur and X. J. Kennedy, or Jack Prelutsky and J. Patrick Lewis and Kenn Nesbitt, you'll want to add Robert Schechter to your list of favorite poets -Janet Wong, winner of the 2021 NCTE Award for Excellence in Poetry for ChildrenThe Red Ear Blows Its Nose is a dazzling tour de force of ingenious poems that sparkle with Schechter's witty, wonderful wordplay. Read this book. Your brain will thank you. Mine did.-Kenn Nesbitt, former Children's Poet Laureate (2013-15)Robert Schechter's poems sing with irrepressible joy. His humor, wit, and verbal dexterity make The Red Ear Blows Its Nose a book that both children and adults will want to read over and over and over again. He is clearly one of the most accomplished poets writing for children today.-Valerie Bloom MBE, winner, 2022 CLiPPA (UK)Schechter's The Red Ear Blows Its Nose is a masterful collection from a masterful poet. Not only does every poem take you somewhere new, spinning ideas and jokes and thoughts and dreams and facts and observations on the tip of its finger like a Harlem Globetrotter at a showing-off convention, but it does so with such surefootedness, such deft rhythm and rhyme, that the poems are joys to read aloud. They sing themselves out of your mouth and will stick in the minds of kids and grown-ups everywhere they get heard. Schechter, it seems to me, is way up there with the great American kids' poets, a real Shel Silverstein for today's generation.-A. F. HarroldIt's entertaining-sometimes hilarious, sometimes beautiful, always thought-provoking-and nothing short of brilliant.-Diana Murray, author of City Shapes, Summer Color and the Unicorn Day series.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. David Alpaugh's Spooky Action at a Distance--a collection of double-title poems--include irreverent, insightful commentary on subjects both current and timeless. The poetic form is Alpaugh's invention. Masterfully versified with taut control of form and content, on topics ranging from the high precision of science and mathematics to the vagaries and subjectivity of art, this unique collection contains a seemingly endless supply of wit, witticism, wonders, and revelations.PRAISE FOR SPOOKY ACTION AT A DISTANCE: I can't count how many times I laughed out loud while reading David Alpaugh's Spooky Action at a Distance. Alpaugh's wit is so original, so outlandish, so outrageous, that at first it's hard to believe he's pulling off one after another of these double-title poems, a form he invented and one that could not be better suited to his brilliant, iconoclastic mind. As impressive as Alpaugh's poetic skill--his dexterity, musical ear and gift for turning cliches on their heads--is his range of reference. From childhood to history to mythology to politics to literature and back, Alpaugh takes us on a magical mystery tour through a universe of his own making. -- Lynne Knight, author of The Persistence of LongingFor me, Alpaugh's wit--in the old high metaphysical sense of that word--is the primary source of his power and virtue. He is an insatiably curious man who somehow manages to get everything into his poems. In Spooky Action at a Distance, Alpaugh is all about serious play and endlessly capable of surprise. Tracking the moves he makes connecting double-title after double-title is its own reward, a pleasure so pure as not to be missed. -- William Slaughter, editor of MudlarkDavid Alpaugh's Spooky Action at a Distance offers readers a cornucopia of delights, complications, and some truly moving insights--all in an intriguing new form of his own invention. Alpaugh's double-title form shows how two titles can be separate, like two photons miles apart, yet "entangled" in meaning and intent. Alpaugh is an excellent poetic space travel guide. This collection reminds me of the language used to describe properties of quarks--strangeness and charm. Alpaugh's poems are structured, but still filled with plenty of actual strangeness and charm. And one need not enter a particle accelerator to discover these surprises. Just get this book! -- Kathleen Lynch, author of Lucky WitnessABOUT THE AUTHOR: David Alpaugh holds degrees in English from Rutgers University and the University of California, Berkeley, where he was both a Woodrow Wilson and Ford Foundation Fellow. His poems have appeared in more than a hundred literary journals from Able Muse to Poetry to ZYZZYVA, and his first collection, Counterpoint, won the Nicholas Roerich Poetry Prize from Story Line Press. David Alpaugh's essays, "The Professionalization of Poetry" (Poets & Writers Magazine), "What's Really Wrong With Poetry Book Contests" (Rattle), and "The New Math of Poetry" (Chronicle of Higher Education)--have been widely discussed online. His musical play, Yesteryear: 3 Days in Paris with Francois Villon, was recently published by Scene4. Since he debuted the double-title poem in Mudlark in 2016, more than a hundred have appeared in journals and anthologies. He currently teaches literature for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at their UC Berkeley and Cal State East Bay campuses.
