'I Laugh at These Tiny Girls' is the second book in the ‘Poetry for people who hate poetry’ series.
your father walks like a crab
A lot of people 'hate' poetry because of its usually obscure language. 'Your Father Walks Like A Crab', however contains poetry stripped of conformity and with a motive to portray poetry as enjoyable, especially to those people who do not normally read poetry.

It is about relationships: familial, platonic or romantic, and also general day to day experiences and observations of the poet.
