Publisher Description: What's So Funny is a collection of poems by young New Zealander Rene Astle. Drawing on his unique and challenging view of the world, Rene whimsically balances a light hearted perspective with internal tensions - all mapped out in both short and long form poetry. Rene, both gracefully and playfully, expresses his life with autism through his art. As an illustrator, he expresses a theatrical take on both the inane as well as many of the joyful elements of his particular context. As a writer, he gives us a glimpse into how words both illuminate and connect his inner universe to the world outside. Rene's prolific expression in these fields has created volumes of sketches, story ideas and, as you'll find here, poetry. It's a rare gift from an amazing young man. |
