Reviews

Resurgius, one of Thalia's Winks, is a quietly hilarious read which, unique though it is, strikes me as belonging to the very league as the comic gems of Evelyn Waugh and Nathaniel West. -X.J. Kennedy E. M. Schorb demonstrates that the world of prose poetry has no boundaries of form, theme, or style. His prose poems both give us metaphysical fancies and reveal the unexpected in the ordinary. -Jack Anderson, Author Traffic: New and Selected Prose Poems A story-teller's gift for selecting and relating the points he wishes to make, combined with a dramatist's flair for moving the points into place, make many of Schorb's works memo-rable. -ETC: A Review of General Semantics
