Broken Prose, Spoken Poems - Paperback

by Clifford Schrage (Author)

This collection of some hundred of Clifford Schrage's free verse poems is a pleasant surprise. Lurking beneath seemingly random lines and mundane topics like a small town in Vermont, the passing of a year, looking out a window on a grey rain, are powerful emotions that grab readers and bring them to reconsider their lives. Cliff Schrage is a high school creative writing, film studies, and literature teacher on Long Island as well as a summer resident of Prince Edward Island, and his poem topics reflect his wide travel as well as his keen sense of observation.
