We Go Together!

By Calef Brown

In Calef Brown’s poem “We Go Together,” he jubilantly decrees: “We go together / like fingers and thumbs. / Basses and drums. / Pastries and crumbs.” In “You Are Two (Kiwis),” he muses, “I am quite frequently, / reminded by thee / of a kiwi. / Either kind.” Yes, silliness and sentimentality have free rein in this “curious selection” of childlike poems about love and friendship, each accompanied by an equally absurd, stylized acrylic painting. Like Sandol Stoddard’s I Like You, We Go Together! this book makes an offbeat Valentine’s gift for anyone with a good sense of humor and a penchant for wordplay.

Reviews for We Go Together!

[miss_annie_o · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

"We go Together" is a book of short poems, all involving friendship. The poems have an overall theme of friendship, some picturing the different types of friends together, others are written from one friend to another. The stories promote a feeling of coming together with buddies in order to get in and out of mischief, have each others backs, make one another giggle, and simply just to make each other better people.
