Gallimaufry & Farrago, Hardcover/Kathleen Balma

How did Abraham Lincoln build the log cabin he was born in? What happens at an invisible gun show? Are aliens really controlling a Chicago musician's ears? Where can you go for a meal of angel testicles? For twenty years Kathleen Balma has been crafting her answers to these and other metaphysical questions with a humor and style all her own. Known for her deadpan and lack of pretense, Balma is a master at creating poems that are easy to enter and hard to put down. Informed by a childhood spent in four Midwestern states and an adult life spent on three continents, Gallimaufry & Farrago is a musical mix of verse and prose by a worldly and imaginative thinker.
