Our attention toward those who act on the fringe of society, reflecting it back on us, be it madman, artist, trickster, clown, or poet, sheds light on our own need to rebel, to reinvent ourselves or our world, but for our timidity to act. In this collection of poetry, essays, and stories, sacred fools and tricksters from Coyote to Quixote, and even those in modern times, present the hungry truth, the recipes for disaster, the feast of fools.
