Description
When British millionaire Felix Dennis began scribbling poetry, his hobby quickly became an obsession. Described as brilliant, bombastic, profane, and ruthless, the enfant terrible whose international publishing empire includes the world's largest selling men's magazine, Maxim, wrote this bestselling volume of 187 poems in a formal meter, spanning the gamut of topics from sex to ecology to the Crusades. Illustrated with pen-and-ink sketches and featuring an audio CD of Dennis reading his show more work, this unorthodox collection will delight readers everywhere. 1-40135-953-1$12.95 / Time Warner Book Group show lessTags
