Reviews
In reading Ken Priebe's Gnomes of the Cheese Forest and Other Poems I was utterly captivated, not only by the eponymous gnomes and other fearsome and forlorn creatures that spring to life in the pages, but also by the heart at the center of the poems. More than once i turned a page laughing, only to be stilled by a quiet gentleness in the next entry. These poems are a delight and a comfort. I can't wait to introduce my favorite kids (and grownups) to my new favorite poet. - Laure Hittle, Director of Clearwater Library Ken Priebe has written and illustrated a book that works like a box of magic, a bag of candy, a window into a dimension as mad as The Muppet Show, and an escape into playfulness as rewarding for adults as for kids. Parents will recognize wisdom in these preposterous poems, while kids will find a kindred spirit. Until another volume appears, I'll just keep rereading this one. - Jeffrey Overstreet, author of The Auralia Thread series My entire family loves Gnomes of the Cheese Forest and Other Poems. It is a rare and marvelous collection, an invitation to fun and wonder. It is book woven with a spell for conjuring delighted smiles. I am glad to have been enchanted. - S. D. Smith, author of The Green Ember Series
