Spooning With Mojo
"There is more to meet the eye in all of Laura Chester's writings but especially in these bouncy, joyous poems written for both adults and children. The trouble with them is that I want them to go on for a lot longer. This collection is an antidote to the loss of wit and the facticity of expression that insults us everywhere. It is good medicine."
–Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul and Soul Therapy
Who is this Pied Piper of Poetry? Laura Chester has a remarkable affinity with children and animals. Her youthful spirit is embedded in these zany poems, for she understands and relates to children's humor, and sometimes horror—like, where exactly is that "Bratty Hole?" Phil Knoll's artwork is the perfect complement to Chester's bouncy, joyful lyrics. Adults will delight in these poems and artworks as well.
As Molly Young, book editor for The New York Times, wrote: "This book is a literary and visual fiesta for readers of all sizes...Spooning With Mojo is that rarest of combinations: a hoot and a keeper."
