title: Marriage of Poetry and Color: Book 1: Flowers, Angels, and Gnomes (Volume 1)
author: Fibby Bob Kinney
description: I was a poet in the days of the "Beatniks" and Flower Children. I became a stand-up comic and voice actor, now, I am putting together pictures to color with my poems. It is very exciting as each reader who chooses my book, becomes the artist to color, to bring togetherness, to picture and poem...thx. fBk
