We like to call it the "Big Bang"
But have no clue what sound it made.
It may have squealed like squeaky wheels
Or squawked a seagull's serenade...

The Big Honk is the second collection of poetry by Phillip Van Wagoner paired with hand-painted illustrations by Spencer Smith. In this humorous, heartfelt look at the universe, readers will explore the dangers of writing poetry too closely to black holes, think about how we share atoms with everyone, and wave to our neighbors in other solar systems.
