Bunny Queue

Bunny Queue (2021)

A poetry collection.

"The bunnies of imagination are seeking entry to your mind. Offbeat but timely, whimsical but wise, playful but perceptive, these quirky and mostly short poems may put you in mind of Ogden Nash, Ivor Cutler, Spike Milligan or any other absurdist poet you like, and put a smile on your face while doing so. It is sensible to be silly, profoundly so in some instances. That is the general message of this collection. The bunnies of imagination are already queuing. Will you let them in?"

“Bunny Queue serves up a long collection of short poems that are witty, whimsical, very puny, and on occasion incisive concerning the quirks in language and the human condition. If you are looking for dense, lyrical poetry you’ve come to the wrong place. For the most part shunning adjective and adverbs, Hughes writes in a clean direct voice with sensible line breaks. If you are looking for a light, entertaining read that you can open anywhere for a few good laughs and more, welcome aboard.”
- Bruce Boston, Bram Stoker Award Winner, author of Gallimaufry

"A wonderfully stylish writer. I would call him an indubitable modern sentence master.“
- Samuel R. Delany, Author of Dhalgren

"Rhys Hughes puts a big red rubber nose on language."
- Maithreyi Karnoor, Author of Sylvia
