| Publisher Description: Did you know that a pig's orgasm lasts thirty minutes? Or that each year more people are killed by teddy bears than by grizzly bears? How about that 83% of people believe in a perfect day? Welcome to the wild world of factoids Using a different factoid as the starting point, and title, for his musings, award-winning poet Neil Carpathios offers up thirty poems in this unique collection that explores sexuality, relationships, culture, metaphysics, and many other corners of our universe. By turns humorous, irreverent, intimate and thought-provoking, Carpathios takes full advantage of the mental springboard that is the factoid. As an added treat, included are original drawings by artist Carole Carpathios, the poet's wife. These whimsical and beautifully rendered images complement the poems to take readers on a journey through a palpable factoid galaxy. Laugh out loud. Scratch your head in thought. Fasten your seatbelt. Enjoy the ride. |
