Elephants & Butterflies

the long version

*Elephants & Butterflies* combines the imaginative forays of *The Vandals* with the more meditative approach of Love Song with Motor Vehicles. Both wild and calm, boisterous and quiet, the poems in *Elephants & Butterflies* use surprise, song, and startling metaphor while allowing the ideas to simmer just below the surface of the lyric. The poems manage the difficult task of being highly readable and accessible, while still containing complex philosophical and personal knowledge.
