Eclectica Americana: Poems

by E M Schorb

Overview

To be a first-class poet requires a fluency of language, mastery of a vocabulary sufficient to express seminal, original thoughts set down with rhythm, with imagery, and with descriptive evocation that communicates flawlessly with the recipient of the poetry of verse. Such is the case with the poetry of E.M. Schorb.

Editorial Reviews

I am always happy to drop everything-pretty nearly-when I make the acquaintance of a new poet as good as E.M. Schorb.
-James Dickey



E.M. Schorb's "The Journey" navigates among dreams, déjà vu, premonitions, a carefully observed, scrupulously interrogated present and "a touch of the old moonglow." Sometimes, he even seems to bring dispatches from "the undiscover'd country," but he is always rooted in the world of the senses and the mind. It is a pleasure to travel with him.
-R. T. Smith



The poems of E.M. Schorb shine calmly even as they buzz with energy; are connaissant with the world and yet trans¬cendent of it; make something deeply funny and yet highly sad-given a world and a time and a good mind's eye. This is the work of a mature intelligence, its ironies unadulterated by cynicism, and its swells informed by understatement
-Heather McHugh
