Scattershots with Derek Kannemeyer

A teeming, rollicking stew of lyrical light verse wit and whimsy, ranging from the learned to the loony; from Pushcart-nominated story pieces to participatory performance poems; oddball entertainment guaranteed.

Derek Kannemeyer returns to Book People to talk about his newest collection of Poetry, Scattershots.

These poems reveal the poet's capacity for emotional intensity. Here we notice the magnificent union of form and thought. The chief interest of these poems is the employment of imagery with extraordinary effectiveness. Particularly impressive is attractive diction and admirable phrasing.

Derek will be presenting a retrospective of his work, performance poems, and a lot of humor. Audience participation is encouraged.
