The free-verse flows with a nonchalant eye for detail,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Elephant's Child: New & Selected Poems 1978-2005 (Paperback)
The sixth collection by award-winning poet Steve Orlen, The Elephant's Child: Selected Poems 1978-2005 gathers nearly forty pages of new poems along with carefully chosen favorites from each of the author's five previous collections, bound by a common theme of reminiscence and tales from life experience. The free-verse flows with a nonchalant eye for detail, deftly capturing human lives, settings, and struggles in the flash of an instant. "The City of Poets: 1966": The young poet didn't have a nickel to his name, but when / He sat down for supper in the communal kitchen / With a pizza ordered from outside and Help, / The latest Beatles album, and a coil of rope in a sack, / No one thought to ask him, What's your plan?
