Bric-a-brac-adabra

Bric--brac-adabra reveals the unending magic of the daily objects most of us rarely take notice of. From corkscrews ("the devil's pigtail") and kitchen scissors ("aerialist of the kitchen") to pole pruners ("one-eye puppet bird of prey") and WD-40 ("an aerosoled genie"), Jean-Mark Sens delights in spinning sideways the tradition of the Dinggedicht (thing poem). And we, dear readers, will be enlightened by re-seeing through his keen eye.
