The Flapdoodle Follies

ByE.L. Doc Hunter

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
“The Flapdoodle Follies” is a celebration of words. Sometimes archaic, perhaps a bit bizarre – but always beautiful – words have a power to transport or transform, to tickle and tease, and to terrify. Strung together in this way or that, a melody emerges, sometimes bubbling along, sometimes crashing with vicious, thunderous force; the result need not always be pleasant to be enjoyable. Words also have the power to inspire our imaginations, to set us off on a journey of reflection and exploration or on a madcap adventure into the unknown. Without a preconceived story to tell, the author lets the words themselves define the contours of the pieces. The result is collection of absurdist poetry, fantastical tales, and dark reflection. Sometimes playful, sometimes despairing, the author follows the stream of consciousness inspired by these words wherever it takes him, creating pieces that, somehow, in attempting to be unfocused, open, and direct, end up being very focused and true.
