“Half magpie and all poet, Jack Anderson takes wing and lights everywhere, showing us things we’ve never seen before as well as ones we’ve seen every blessed day of our lives, though we’ll never look at them the same way again. Cops, sex, dinosaurs, grandmas, the Bach family, Chairman Mao, bad puns (and a few good ones): it’s all here, our whole lives and everyone else’s, too. [ . . . ] Sheer delight awaits you, reader, and total pleasure.”—David Kirby
