Fairy Tale Town March 4th, 2006—Celebration of Dr. Seuss

One never knows what one can find in Mr. McGregor’s Garden. The Sacramento Poetry Center set up on the broad tables found there, hoping to find a few little bunnies squeezing in under the fence so that they could be thoroughly punished with words. The task, again, for errant children was to build their poetry necklaces. Children literally string words together and then wear them around their necks in astounding acts of self-branding. Anything for Dr. Seuss.

Victor Schnickelfritz makes a rare appearance as “the scruffy daisy” or is it “the shady sunflower” ?
