So when I looked at the title of his book, I got excited. <br /><br />What Looks Like An Elephant coaxed me from my secret hiding place, if you know what I mean. <br /><br />As I examined the work's pages, I asked myself two questions.

I just wanted to say a few words about the title which was extracted from the poem, "Another List of Intangibles." In the poem, the speaker is frustrated by what he finds to be an inconsistency between what he knows to be true and what appears to be false, or at best, misleading.

A page turner all the way. Not only is he a gifted poet, his poems are interesting, to put it as plainly as possible.
