Sage has created a playful allegory about why misery exists in the world, and always will. Award-winning Ayto's pen-and-ink illustrations evoke the eccentric and slightly macabre feel of the book, perfectly complementing the original voice of the storytelling.

Visually arresting and utterly one-of-a-kind, Sarah J. Sloat's Hotel Almighty is a book-length erasure of Misery by Stephen King, a reimagining of the novel's themes of constraint and possibility in elliptical, enigmatic poems. Here, "joy would crawl over broken glass, if that was the way." Here, sleep is “a circle whose diameter might be small," a circle "pitifully small," a "wrecked and empty hypothetical circle." Paired with Sloat's stunning mixed-media collage, each poem is a miniature canvas, a brief associative profile of the psyche—its foibles, obsessions, and delights.

When Swanda and her dog, Waldo, move to Brooklyn from the country, they miss the wildlife they left behind. Until they discover the pigeons. “Oh, look! What dear little birds! Come, Waldo, we’ll get them a bird feeder all their own.” But a bird feeder in the city attracts lots and lots and lots of birds — and the neighbors don’t like them, or their mess, one bit. So when Swanda is unable to fix things, her neighbors step in with their own Brooklynese solution: “SWANDA, YOU GOTTA STOP FEEDIN’ DA BOIDS!”
