A collection of 30 poems by various authors, all written TO things, all kinds of things, from a dustmote to an octopus, to a black hole, addressing their subjects directly, sometimes even admonishing them. They are presented to the reader to spark his imagination and spur him to try it on his own. An interesting endeavor, even though the poems are uneven and the sequence somewhat baffling. Occasionally similar subjects follow one another and the mixed media illustrations tie them together.
