Concerning Man

by Gil Orlovitz

"Orlovitz's voice is one of the most unique in contemporary American poetry. It is full of despair, satire, song, lyricism, obscenity, and love. His tendency to pun will try any reader's patience, and his quick shifts of metaphor and point of view can stymie the most attentive." - William Mattathias Robins
