As a Matter of Fact or Fiction

By Mark J. Beasley

Mark Beasley returns with a new collection of whimsical poems that wander through history, geography, folklore, famous faces, strange places, and the occasional questionable fact.

In As a Matter of Fact or Fiction, readers will encounter the Grand Canyon, Big Ben, Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, the Titanic, Sir Isaac Newton, The Rolling Stones, and many more familiar names and places-all viewed through Beasley's wonderfully sideways sense of humor.

Some poems are rooted in truth. Some take a creative detour. Others may leave you wondering where fact ends and fiction begins. Paired with Kem Welch's playful illustrations, this collection invites readers to simply enjoy the ride.
