Barwin and beaulieu in love with their language in frogments

cover for frogments from the frag pool
"frogments from the frag pool is simply, perhaps profoundly, a delightful book of poetry... [T]his is the work of two poets profoundly in love with their language, and the meanings inherent in that language.... frogments marks an achievement that many poetry collections fall short of -- it is a remarkably accessible book. I can't imagine a reader who wouldn't delight in this word play: prepare to be amused by its drawings, words of wisdom, non-wisdom and wit. Whether or not you have read haiku or any poetry since that mandatory lesson in high school -- this is a book I believe you will enjoy." - Jocelyn Grossé
