True
to its title, "Miracles & Mischief" by Vernon Crumrine is a tasty
cerebral treat. The audio version, read
by Peter Bohush, is a half-hour of poetic pie that satiates the senses and
exercises the brain.
Bohush's
rich vocal talents are a delightful complement to Crumrine's words, painting an
array of scenes and visions; ideas and reflections. Topics range from Marilyn Monroe to
motorcycle crashes; the nature of the Universe to children's take on Love.
Vernon
expresses complex thoughts in simple yet eloquent words, making even the
largest themes digestible and, at times, comedic. Also sharing his own personal experiences,
the reader (or listener) is invited to take a peek through Vernon's pair of
World-Windows.
Mark
Twain once said, "My works are like water. The works of the great masters
are like wine, but everyone drinks water.". I'm not one to compare any writer's words to
that of another, but I would say Twain's statement surely applies to Vernon
Crumrine.
