Chappy Hour: Underlined Passages + The Emu Dialogues

This month’s poetry selection, The Emu Dialogues, published by Quattro Books, is a playful yet complex collection that speaks for itself:Emu is a literary cult named after a bird improvised from the spare parts of other birds, a bird that never flies because flying is a cliché. Emu is I AM YOU AND YOU ARE ME spoken at the speed of light. Emu is literature’s barber shop, where Dadaism, Surrealism, L-A-N-G-U-A-G-E get their weltanschauung trimmed and catch up on the latest sports gossip. This is a collection of poetry for poets and I’ve paired it with a cocktail for writers. The Underlined Passages is frothy, fun yet sophisticated. A perfect compliment.

What You Need:What to Do:Fill your cocktail shaker halfway full with ice cubes. Then add the brandy, Navan, Dumante, and egg white. Shake exceptionally well. Strain into a cocktail glass.Source: Ginger Bliss and the Violet Fizz by A.J. RathbunWhat to Read:
