Thelonious Magpie flits about, snatching up all the fine, shiny words and refashioning them to her own taste and purpose. Then riffs freely and fancifully, like the finest jazz. These poems are taken from many diverse sources, including online forums, advertising copy, journals, letters, interviews and texts both literary and otherwise. Each poem is made up only of words from the cited source text. Some of these poems are great fun, some more thoughtful, sad, or even terrifying. There are poems about love and sex, about children, death, angels and animals. A book to discover the rich language lurking in unlikely places.
