"Charles Harper Webb has a wild inventive energy, a quirky at times even manic wit, and a deep sense of wonder at the world. His poems are filled with curiosities, with odd facts and details, with unlikely anecdotes -- all of which he takes personally. As a poet, he's a wise-acre, a troublemaker -- part stand-up comic, part anthropologist, part visionary. He is funny and . . . can be withering about contemporary life; his irony gives him no rest. And yet he is a romantic despite himself: a singer of tales, a poet of praise." -- from the Foreword
