Synopsis

Some Birds Walk for the Hell of It is the third volume of poetry from musician and spoken word artist, C.R. Avery. In his take-no-prisoners style of verse and performance, Avery celebrates the virtues of the bohemian lifestyle, late-nite denizens of inconvenient madness, the dissolute and the temporary, lawless black leather pioneers of rap, and every tattooed member of this "helpless grey sky tribe." Like a cross between Lenny Bruce and Tom Waits, Avery's poetry is alternately profane,brilliant, vulgar, funny, brash, unsettling, and unquestionably original.
