Amazon.com description: Product Description: David Hill offers quirky perspectives on life, love, and globalization in his first book of poems to be published in the United States. A journalist whose normal beat is international economy and culture, Hill is known to readers of his poetry as, in the words of Light Quarterly (Chicago), "a polylingual perversely talented poet, [who] does devilishly contrived things with the language. He's raunchy, unsolemn, and very funny." "David Hill makes the everyday surreal-and writes unashamedly and delightfully about love. Imagine a shape-shifter, a spinner of yarns, a poet from Transylvania via the U.S. and leafy England, whose poems are small gothic tales of lost dogs, lovesick girls, royal houses gone to pot, celebrities in domestic situation comedies, vampires in the belfry, menopausal women and much more."--Rosemary Dun, founder and host, Big Mouth Poetry
