It is so seldom that a book can be taken seriously both as entertainment and literature, both brilliant and unique. Coomer's THE LOOP is a romantic, philosophical tutorial on one man's meaning in the universe as seen through the eyes of a fugitive parrot and a deliciously mischievous librarian. As daunting a task as it may seem, Joe Coomer's vision is so lucid, so rigorously observed that we never feel abandoned by the subject of his book for a moment. We are captivated and cared for by a man whose humanity is profound. Coomer is a national treasure, a poet laureate.
