    Taking A Walk in My Animal Hat is a tapestry of exquisite poems, phrases and lines that stun, rejuvenate, and have, as Audre Lord hungers for,� the potential to 'set us free.'� These poems are for those of us weary of what Adrienne Rich terms the �atrophy of our power to imagine other ways of navigating into our collective future.� Charlene Fix�s collection is the antidote to that atrophy. It is a call to don the �animal hat," to �manifest the state or aspiration of the soul.� One poem after another takes us there, always surprisingly�.The poetry is knowledgeable, wise, whimsical, challenging, loving, and draws from a wide repertoire � paintings, farms, porches, family, the marketplace, loss, life. This collection is a foundation for recovery, for restoration, for inspiration. -Anna Soter, is Professor Emerita at The Ohio State University, author of Breathing Spaces.

    The author invites readers to spend time in the pleasure of Harpo''s cinematic company while comparing him to tricksters from folklore, myth and legend. The book demonstrates how Harpo, the sweetest, wildest, most magical Marx brother, accomplishes the archetypal trickster''s work. Thirteen chapters examine Harpo''s trickster persona closely in each of the Marx Brothers'' films: The Cocoanuts, Animal Crackers, Monkey Business, Horse Feathers, Duck Soup, A Night at the Opera, A Day at the Races, Room Service, At the Circus, Go West, The Big Store, A Night in Casablanca and Love Happy. Harpo as trickster embodies luck, foolishness, cleverness, mania, hunger, lust, stealing, shape-shifting, gender-bending, alliance with underdogs, attacks on the powerful, musicality, sympathy for animals, magic and mischief. His trickster behaviors in all the films are woven into a composite impression that ""with a little luck, will resonate beyond the covers of this book and leak out into the world, making it a more just, flexible, resilient, amusing and magical place.""
