NO MORE POEMS! A Book in Verse That Just Gets Worse

Nick Offerman's dry narration highlights the humor and irony in Rhett Miller's 23 short poems. Offerman's low tone adds debonair mischief to funny observations about child-related matters such as the fantasy of sibling rivalry run amok in "Brotherly Intentions." He captures the pace and pitch of children's voices as they longingly and loudly plead their case for pet ownership in "I Want A Dog" and for staying up late in "I Will Not Go to Bed." Even token potty-related poems such as "My Secret Karate" and "3:00 AM Pee" have an air of sophistication with Offerman's suave delivery. Overall, Offerman's enticing interpretations of Miller's delightful poems will have children and adults asking for more. M.F. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2019]
