A modern day re-telling of the classic Christmas tale.All around the world, excitement grows as Christmas time nears again. However, Santa cannot maintain his renowned speed and has reluctantly handed Rudolph's reigns over to his son, Santa Junior, who knows he cannot live up to his father's performance. So in his first act as the new Santa in charge, he picks up a pen and writes a letter designed to reach all his favourite children and let them know a little about himself as well as the changes they may notice with him now sitting in the main seat of the magical sleigh.

The Self-Styled No-Child, Cody Walker's second book of poems, offers an unlikely array of characters: Edward Lear, Mitt Romney, Amy Clampitt, and Andy Kaufman share the stage.Walker himself is ever-present, with his shrugs, his heartbreak, his "way-out rhymes" "I'd like to write some lines about the snow, / but--I dunno, / the snow seems so / fleeting: / a flock of gulls, late for a meeting." Full of comic interruptions and grave forecasts, these poems surprise, delight, and terrify.
