\ From Barnes & NobleShel Silverstein (1930-99) had two identities. In one persona, he was America's best-loved and most popular children's poet, the author of illustrated bestsellers such as A Light in the Attic, Where the Sidewalk Ends, and Falling Up. In his other life, Silverstein was a hip adult artist who delighted Playboy readers with his edgy erotic drawings. Different Dances, first published in 1979 and long out of print, belongs to the second genre. Silverstein himself described this mature collection as "a modern ballet where / lovers are ground to hamburger / wives are turned into chairs / TV sets eat people / God is uncovered-and re-covered / and men are hung by the instrument of their desire."\ \
