News Muse is a collection of news-related, humorous poems. Unusual news from all around the world inspires the author to write poems full of humor, rhythm and rhyme. One poem describes the text message of a desperate cow to her beloved; another tells the story of a tourist who participates in the search for herself in Iceland. There are poems about animals in unexpected roles, complicated relationships, dubious diets, divine experience, unconventional trips and outrageous shopping experiences—anything but the ordinary.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
