Customer Reviews

A fully enjoyable book--like all his others

If you've read anything of Armour's, you'll find the same humor in his book of verse "Light Armour". He takes the simpelest topics, such as the elbow, and manages to bring out their complexities and peculiarities. It's like Shel Silverstein for grown ups. He makes the art of poetry seem so easy to master and so enjoyable. Reading a few poems from this book never fails to make me smile or consider writing a few of my own. Once again, my highest recommendation!
