Humorous, inspirational and gritty, Ballyhoo! offers a glimpse into an alternate world. Written by author, Lori Maynard (the Carnival Poet), this collection of poetry is sure to find a special place in heart to be enjoyed time and time again. At the age of 18, Lori had taken off with a small carnival, Anderson Amusements, Inc. This is a rare peek behind the turbo lights, loud music, grease and mystery. The carnival is an amazing world that never leaves you once you have experienced its touch. Read this book if you dare feel the soul that resides within those mechanical beasts which travel from town to town.
