Some Birds Walk For the Hell of It

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.
