We Go Collectively!: A Curious Collection of Affectionate Verse

In Calef Brown’s poem “We Go Collectively,” he jubilantly decrees: “We go collectively / like fingers and thumbs. / Basses and drums. / Pastries and crumbs.” In “You Are Two (Kiwis),” he muses, “I’m fairly regularly, / reminded by thee / of a kiwi. / Both sort.” Sure, silliness and sentimentality have free rein on this “curious choice” of childlike poems about love and friendship, every accompanied by an equally absurd, stylized acrylic portray. Like Sandol Stoddard’s I Like You, We Go Collectively! this guide makes an offbeat Valentine’s reward for anybody with a very good humorousness and a penchant for wordplay.
