Editorial Reviews

Review

"'I taste blood in my mouth,'" Zordani says. Seizure and song. This is great stuff." -- Bruce Guernsey

"Each poem has the intensity of a Chekhov story -- and a suprising sense of mercy." -- Heather Ross Miller

"These poems are a pleasure to every reader. Zordani knows a lot about affliction. He knows even more about poetry. -- James Whitehead

5.0 out of 5 stars The best collection of poems that I have read in years, April 19, 2004

This review is from: Epileptic's Song (Paperback)

Epileptic's Song, is an incredibly powerful collection of poems. These poems created an image in my mind that haunted me for days. The poetry brought alive the pain, struggles, and joy of the poet.

Clearly suited for mature audiences, the poet covers topics ranging from love, sex, divorce, debauchery, wildness, loss and struggle with a no-apology matter-of-fact honesty. An honesty that can only come from someone who has truly lived and looked directly into the eyes and soul of both all the good and evil this world can offer.

I highly recommend this book to anyone.
