Reviews
“Three dozen delights for fans of puns and wordplay…Demonstrating firm command of exact rhymes and rollicking metrics, Torrible’s debut features a set of pungently sharp-witted lyrics.”
“Eye-rolling while smiling is the response every punster hopes for, and the lines in this book consistently deliver just that. Torrible offers effective poems without forced rhymes or nonsense words—if the wordplay is nonsensical, it’s on purpose.”
