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."
