SUMMARY:Kyle Lukoff on Instagram Live!
DESCRIPTION:reading Explosion at the Poem Factory. \n“Offbeat nonsense humor of the highest order: not to be missed.”–Kirkus\, starred review \nBe sure to watch within 24 hours of broadcast before the video disappears! \n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, April 24\, 2021 – 10:00am\n\n\n\n\n\nKilmer Watts makes his living teaching piano lessons\, but when automatic pianos arrive in town\, he realizes he’s out of a job. He spots a “Help Wanted” sign at the poem factory and decides to investigate — he’s always been curious about how poems are made. \nThe foreman explains that machines and assembly lines are used for poetry these days. So Kilmer learns how to operate the “meter meter” and empty the “cliché bins.” He assembles a poem by picking out a rhyme scheme\, sprinkling in some similes and adding alliteration. \nBut one day the machines malfunction\, and there is a dramatic explosion at the poem factory. How will poetry ever survive? \nKyle Lukoff’s funny story\, rich in wordplay\, is complemented by Mark Hoffmann’s lively\, quirky art. The backmatter includes definitions of poetic feet\, types of poems (with illustrated examples) and a glossary of other terms. An author’s note explains the inspiration for the story. \nKyle Lukoff has worked at the intersection of books and people for more than half his life\, first as a bookseller and later as a school librarian\, reviewer\, awards juror and contributor to professional publications.
