Stingray Clapping by Andrew Choate

"I could read Andrew Choate all day long. My family is a miniature fan club: from 'necktie popcorn' to 'You can run/but you can't/aquarium'. Choate knows what we need even before we do. Part alarm clock, part applause light, and part sea creature, Andrew Choate's poetry refurbishes our mental dining rooms. More guests can join us at dinner parties now, and look! We're swimming!"-Dana Teen Lomax, author
