about

The epic poem recounts the heroic battles between a misfit boy on a fly-swatting crusade and a daring fly on an Epicurean quest.

The first of five volumes, Book I: A Ballad of Garbage and Picnics pits the picnickers of Land against the insects of Landfill Island, launching a satirical saga rich with adventure, villainy, and rhyme.
