Poetry is often profound, moving, and esoteric. This is not that kind of poetry. Fear of Rowdy Children is all about the mundanities of life, from petty annoyances with coworkers to the perks of maintaining a pool. Some poems in this collection even venture into the absurd, like what might happen when a squirrel gets bitten by a werewolf, vampire, and zombie on the same day. Whether you're a poetry lover or a newcomer, you are welcome inside the pages of this book. And if you fear rowdy children, all the better.
