Synopsis

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. —Paul T. Vogel for the Midwest Book Review
Reflections in a Doubtful I is more than just an impressive selection of some of E.M. Schorb'spreviously published work. It is a tour de force of poetic versatility and humane concerns, stretching from the fantasies and fears of childhood through the swirl of desire and grief that is youth, to the joys of married love, the military twins of soldierly courage and frightening atrocity, the tentative consolations but persistent questions of philosophy, and finally the terrible omnipresence of change and death. And Schorb handles it all with an ease that is equally at home in the sonnet, the villanelle, acrostic verse and Skeltonics, all controlled by his sure sense of the well-made line. —Joseph S. Salemi Editor, TRINACRIA
E. M. Schorb's work gives us the pleasures of musical form, while going deep, surprising us, delivering wisdom that seems hard-won. Many of his Reflections in a Doubtful I strike me as unique—among them, "Hadeweijch in Wall Street," the painful love poem "Rival Sleep," the perfect epigram "On Muddling Through," the terrifying visions of "Kindred Spirits" and "The Big Crunch," the triumphantly beautiful "Poetry in Motion." It's a slim volume to cherish and return to again and again. —X.J. Kennedy
