Mishka, Mishka

About the Book

Mishka Zakharin's latest anthology, Mishka, Mishka, is really like five poetry collections in one

"Mishka's Polonaise #6 (in F)"-mellifluous musings on the love of lyricism and the lyricism of love

"Mishkabury Tales" collects a variety of tales to tell, rants to ramble, epics to enthrall

"Mishka's Blue Period", though nothing to do with Picasso more like "Muddy Mishka Sings the Blues"

"Bohemian Mishkapsody"-Beat or Bohemian?-licentious libertine or just plain wacky on the crackers?!

and "The Mishka Sutra", the thread of life-the ups, downs, and in-betweens of living
