Most people see the world as it is meant to be, but a fortunate few see things a bit off-kilter. Ken Anderson is one of those lucky ones. Delectably offbeat, humorous, and tinged with just a touch of the absurd,The Stifled Piper and Other Strange Charactersreflects his quirky views in verse.Inspired by everyday life but magnified with a vivid imagination, Anderson's world is populated by memorable title characters, including: ?The Stifled Piper?, whose wife tamed his fearsome bagpipe playing with cotton and oatmeal; ?The Frozen Skier?, on a midwinter, cross-country ski vacation in Winthrop, Washington; and ?The Caledonian Chopper?, a demon terrorizing the roads astride his hellish motorbike.You'll laugh, you'll scratch your head, and you'll look at your every day with a refreshingly light-hearted irreverence.Anderson, Ken is the author of 'The Stifled Piper and Other Strange Characters: Poems to Amuse and Bemuse', published 2007 under ISBN 9780595427154 and ISBN 0595427154.
