On a recent post to his blog, author Neil Gaiman discussed how you could purchase a print of one of his poems illustrated by artist Jouni Koponen.
The poem is "The Day the Saucers Came" and you can read it in its entirety here.
Here is a snippet from the middle of it, but obviously read the whole thing or it won't make any sense out of context.
"...

And all the bells of London were sounded, the day
Animals spoke to us in Assyrian, the Yeti day,
The fluttering capes and arrival of the Time Machine day,
You didn't notice any of this because

What's stopping you? Go check out the full print and buy it!
