Itâs difficult to describe A Nice Place to Visit. Some will say itâs not a book of poetry at all  but thatâs just because itâs funny and has reviews of bad movies and advice on things like love. Also, itâs a kind of travelogue: you get to go to Costa Rica and look at plants and and stuff and think more about love. And oh yeah, the book tells you who not to sleep with  thatâs very important. And have you ever heard of John Wildman, the guy who starred in the Canadian hit movie My American Cousin? Well, thereâs an ode to him. There are memorable lines like ÂLois and Fran gave me a frying pan.â (But you probably wonât like it if you havenât heard of Parker Posey. You have heard of Parker Posey, right?) Mostly itâs about things youâll always remember  like that summer when the boys in Montreal were all wearing underwear that said ÂHome Of The Brave.â You know . . . Itâs a nice place to visit  but I wouldnât want to live there.
