Endorsements

1) I am deeply impressed with the poetic consistency of the sonnet form, Several caused me to chuckle out loud. The illustrations are also a “hoot.” – Hal Cropp, producing artistic director, Commonweal Theatre Company

2) Finally!  Poetry I can understand! With a bonus: It’s hilarious! And an added perk: It not only makes sassy sense, it’s actually intelligent! – Emilio DeGrazia, author, poet and founder of Great River Review literary magazine

3) Ken Mogren’s sense of humor feels like the first warm breeze after a long winter. His quirky world view, deft turn of phrase, and courageous (and hilarious} use of the sonnet art form makes Spunky Grandmas and Other Amusing Characters a literary treasure. – Patrick Marek, publisher Winona Post.
