Book Reviews of everybody gets lost in brooklyn
Book Review: A "Must" Read
Summary: 5 Stars
The only time I ever purchased a book of poems was when I was compelled to in grade school. When I began reading "Everybody Gets Lost in Brooklyn" I felt compelled to share the enjoyment with others. All of the poems, no matter how long or short, have a twist at the end that forces you to release an audible emotion (usually laughter, sometime an intelligent and reflective "hmm..."). For the men who have no idea what to give their lady for Valentine's Day, this book will do the trick.
Summary of everybody gets lost in brooklyn
For those who fall into a coma at the mention of the word "poems," this collection of short you-know-what's is for you. Each poem (hey, wake up!) is a soft tipped arrow aimed to brush past your funny bone and then bounce off your verse averse heart. (High-risk readers are advised to wear an extra sweater).Most of the tiny epics gathered within these covers were written in New York City, during the years of the Guiliani administration. Themes touched on include love, stars, snow, city, and office. As a collection, everybody gets lost in brooklyn is alive with the poet's task to seek out the special in the ordinary.
Lyricist Arthur Hamilton has written of Mr. Korduba's poems:
"You write feathers
and arrows
and
on one or two pages
I touched
a rose."
