Some Birds Walk for the Hell of It - C R Avery - Bog

Poetry. SOME BIRDS WALK FOR THE HELL OF IT is the third volume of poetry and prose from artist C.R. Avery. In his take-no-prisoners style of verse and performance, Avery celebrates the virtues of the bohemian brigade, late-nite denizens of inconvenient beauty, the dissolute and the temporary, lawless black leather pioneers of innovation, and every battle scarred member of this helpless grey sky tribe. Like a cross between Lenny Bruce and Anaïs Nin, Avery's poetry is alternately profane, brilliantly vulgar, outrageously funny and brash in its lonesome courage, unsettling, and unquestionably original.
