It's all out there - let's go! ¡Vámonos! -- From dust jacket.

This book causes hypertension and anxiety. If you do not already have ADHD you will by time you finish this story. It is a unique book on how to write poems, specifically Jabberwalking poetry. It is wild and crazy and hard to put down. The letters of the words are all over the place and it feels like you are in the mind of a genius. There is a little Spanish thrown in to make it even more interesting and fun. In the words of the author, "A Jabber poem is a fast poem. A wild poem, An unkempt, messy, dirty poem. A scribbly, gooey, cuckoo, sweaty, puffy, blue-cheesy, incandescent poem!" Need I say more??
