Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Jeffrey Skinner's poems come at the world from many different directions. Some are outrageous and very funny, like 'Experiment,' which begins, 'I sewed my father into a specially designed, handmade bear suit. He was indistinguishable from a real bear, and yet retained the necessary functions of a human. I also provided a G.P.S. radio collar. Then I air-dropped him into a densely forested preserve.
