I'd meet Jim Gronvold at a Marin Poetry Center's Summer Traveling Show reading. This little book of his is fun, thoughtful, and as pleasing to the ear as nursery rhymes are to a young child. Which sounds like I'm belittling it. But I'm not. It's a deep pleasure to see someone play with language in this way, without sacrificing a depth even in the midst of clever twists and turns of phrase and so much rhyme.
