Kay Ryan is the Poet Laureate of the United States. Her intensely strange, yet humorous and musical poems have been compared to those of Emily Dickenson. Playful and darkly witty, The Jam Jar Lifeboat and Other Novelties Exposed delves into the oddities of human behavior. Each of the fifteen poems are Ryan's response to a randomly selected entry in Ripley's Believe It or Not!. The poems are accompanied by delightful full color illustrations by Carl Dern. This is a perfect gift for any poetry lover.

Review:
Believe it - Kay Ryan's exquisite new chapbook pf poems (occasioned by epigrams drawn from Ripley's) is an absolute delight. With her wry, incisive intelligence and her trademark delicacy with rhymes, Kay Ryan once again charms us with the seemingly endless pleasures of her wit and wisdom. David St. John --David St. John
A delightful book- Kay Ryan's sparkling verse, encircled by Carl Dern's witty drawings. Poet Laureate Kay Ryan's poems need no enhancement, but this little volume- perfect in shape, size, and execution- is a charming tribute. Diana O'Herir --Diana O'Herir
