I love Philip Terry's poetry which is always inventive in a variety of ways. This short collection from the wonderfully miniature Red Ceilings Press is a peach, basing itself on 'the chicago,' a form developed via the Oulipo some time ago. The basic idea is that each short poem is made up of five lines and the final line, a homophonic 'translation' of a place name, person, animal etc.
