Title: Chimeric Machines
Author: Lucy A. Snyder
Pages: 85
Received from: publisher
Summary:
This collection offers three dozen poems to delight readers who enjoy sly wordplay and subtle allusion, high intelligence and fierce heart.
There's something special about a lady who can make the world's biggest oxymoron work.
Chimeric, or chimera: non-human zoology. Or a little green goblin. Or parts of different origin that are seemingly compatable. Any of these, really.
Machines: any device that uses energy to perform some activity. Created.
I'm not entirely sure what to file this under. It's not a book of poetry, at least not by my definetion. Nor is it really fiction, but it is fictional, sometimes. Or maybe it is a poem. Like, an epic poem, a poem creating a story, like Howl.
I don't know. Its all very strange.
In a great way, that is.
Snyder has a way with words. It's kind of scary, but it's kind of beautiful. Disturbing.

I made a new blog documenting my summer-time creative persutes. Right now there are only some pictures I already posted on Tumblr, but soon I'm going to post all these drawings and portraits for my PORTRAITS OF A HOT MESS project Plus, I'm making a dres. So that'll probably be showing up, too. Here.
