Description
In this collection of poetry and collage, Stan Rogal tackles all of our myths and monsters. With sly allusions, sharp humour and his trademark word play, Rogal reclaims the freaks of the world “from werewolves to celebrities “and shows them to be an important part of what makes us human. With collages to highlight the piecemeal nature of our society and underscore his poems, Fabulous Freaks is a beautiful and burlesque collection sure to hold the reader until to the last word.
