My follow-up poetry collection to IJNGAR, MY HEAD HAS A BELLYACHE, is out JULY 18th!!
Masterfully and delightfully illustrated by Andrea Tsurumi.
I’m wildly proud of how this book has turned out. And the reviews so far (!!!)...

One of my favorites from I’m Just No Good at Rhyming by Chris Harris (@justchrisharris), who never fails to crack me up!
#poemsforkids #kidlit #poetry – at Portland, OR
More dates for my WORLD TOUR for MY HEAD HAS A BELLYACHE... I’ll be everywhere on the planet from Manhattan all the way to Brooklyn!
This Saturday and next. Please spread the word to anyone with grade-schoolers—and if you know any kids who’d like to read with me, message me!
At last night's #frasier screening with the family. Can't wait for folks to see it next week on @paramountplus!
Last week I got to give away hundreds of copies of a certain ridiculous book through the Bookstormer Foundation, an awesome charity providing much-needed books to kids in lower-income areas. Read more--and consider donating--through the link below:

A handy guide for poets and language lovers! May need further explanation of kennings and neologisms, though.

ALT A graphic featuring the cover of "My Head Has A Bellyache and More Nonsense" by Chris Harris alongside a photo of Chris. Text reads: "Attend an afternoon of nonsense with Chris Harris, who will be reading and signing his new book, My Head Has A Bellyache and More Nonsense."

It’s not the sieve like offer that bothers me. It’s the arrogance that comes with every move they make. They need to stop with the “we’re doing you a favor” rhetoric when we’re the ones who sowed their riches. It’s the paintings hanging in the Louvre. Not the walls they hang on.
October 12th... #Frasier has reentered the building.

It’ll be a whirlwind couple months, but excited to announce my WORLD TOUR for MY HEAD HAS A BELLYACHE. There's bound to be a reading near you!
Come watch me make a sweaty fool out of myself at the phenomenal ANNABELLE'S BOOK CLUB on Ventura in Studio City, next Saturday @ 2:30!
What a stupid quote. If any other showrunner is ever subjected to the horror of being forced to hire 5 great writers they don't want, DM me and I'll happily take them off their hands.
The WGA proposed that TV shows should hire a minimum of six to 12 writers, but some writers disagree.
“Nobody asked for this,” said one prominent showrunner. “Every showrunner I know is against this. It doesn’t make sense to anybody.” bit.ly/3sk06cw
Wow.
"Better than Shel Silverstein."
"One [of the] best-written children's books I've ever had the pleasure to read."
Thank you, Betsy! This is a DREAM review. And not a normal anxiety dream. The wonderful kind of dream I hear others often have.
Take THAT, voices in my head!

I ANTHIMERIA nouns often.
APOSIOPESIS is barely...
What’s a word in two pieces?
TM-flippin’-ESIS!
While ZEUGMA shows style and up rarely.
