Overall Very Good or better.<br/><br/>Noted Minnesota artist Gregory W. Bitz provides a humorous fanciful collection of poems and illustrations that are perhaps best described by Chas Fowler: "He leads us down the garden path and beckons us slyly under shadowy ferns among mystical beetle tracks. No one is at home and the woods are full of little people tinkering with tiny hammers. Branches creak. Choirs of weasels are singing. A deaf rabbit strolls by. And while you stand there perplexed Bitz is hiding in the bushes around the side of the house dressed in an owl suit chuckling all to himself. Red Studio Press unknown books
