“The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.”
— G.K. Chesterton
Hold my beer, G. K. Chesterton. I see your request for cheese poetry and raise you an entire book of cheese poems. Cheese is one of the most delightful things the world has to offer. It deserves this book. You deserve this book. Your most cheese-loving friend deserves this book.

I made this book because I thought it would be fun. I love cheese (who doesn’t?), and I like writing goofy little poems. So, I put the two together. But the most important thing about this project to me isn’t the contents of the book or how it looks or how many people buy it — it’s that I did it.
I thought of something weird and fun, and I did it.
I think the world needs more of that.
P.S.
I just read a mean review about this book and I’m pretty sad about it. Isn’t it weird how someone you don’t even know can say just a few words, about something you spent hours upon hours making, and it can make you want to go hide in the bathtub with the lights off and a glass of wine? Here’s what I’m saying to myself tonight:
Do it.
Even though people might hate it.
Though they’ll degrade it.
Though they say what you create
Is just lame sh*t.
Do it anyway.
Be a brave one who shares what is in you,
Unless you’re a critic, because —- you.
What readers said

With a reputation as a cheese fiend, I knew I needed this book. It offers a fun and funny combination of standard poems, haikus, popular songs rewritten, cute drawings of mice and cheese, and more, all written in honor of cheese, there was truly something for everyone in my family in this book. This would be the perfect gift for any cheese lover in your life. Better yet, gift it with some cheese.

My kids LOVE this book so much! They could not put it down and we enjoyed taking turns reading out loud to each other. This is definitely the cheesiest book I’ve ever read.
