Chappy Hour: A Salty Raccoon + Cries from the Ark

A wide and wild cast of characters appear in Dan MacIsaac’s new collection, Cries from the Ark (Brick Books). In the poems I’ve selected, you’ll meet a bull moose, a fox, and several bears, including the Wiley Garbage Bear, aka the Trash Panda. In his honour, I’ve paired this chap with The Salty Raccoon, which can be made with either tequila or agave nectar depending on your tastes.
