Description: In the tradition of Kobayashi Issa, Masaoka Shiki and countless other celebrated senryu poets throughout the centuries, Adjei Agyei-Baah presents herein a fine collection of senryu dedicated to the humble fart – and a fine collection it is! As an editor, I wouldn't dream of cutting one of these poems from the book. Indeed, the very thought of "letting one fly" fills me with dread. I know Agyei-Baah to be a humble man; one who is not prone to tooting his horn in public, so I'll say it for him; when the history of modern senryu is written, "Piece of My Far"t is destined to be recognized as a major literary achievement in the "anals" of our time! —Steve Hodge (Editor of Prune Juice Journal)
