Sinopse
Características

The upcoming book from Pushcart Prize Nominee, 2-time National Poetry Slam Individual Champion, and winner of the Worldcup Poetry Slam Anis Mojgani, The Pocketknife Bible, builds the bridge between a grown-up book for children and a children's picture book for adults, seeking to answer these questions through the author's poems and pictures: What if your future life came to you as a child in dreams? What if you wrote down those dreams in words and pictures, in the language we spoke as children but forgot once grown? What if as an adult you unearthed this book of dreams and prophecy from your past and translated them out of that long lost tongue into poems that those now grown could understand?The Pocketknife Bible is a creative hybrid of poetic journey and graphic novella. Built out of his New Orleans boyhood, Pocketknife carries its readers through the wild, terrible and adventurous country of a surreal childhood--where dead grandfathers fly kites and cloaked men grow operas in the earth. To save himself, a boy uses his dreams to travel through time, delivering snapshots of his wondrous, young heart to the dark sky of his future self.
