Stick, Hook, and a Pile of Yarn by Mervyn Seivwright Leonard Cohen Poems on influencing machines (mind-controllingStick, Hook, and a Pile of Yarn is a collection of poems centred around a coming of age nomad story that was conceived and weaved into place far from the speakers family and the world he has previously known.
