Description

Michael Estok's first collection of poems moves, in the words of Malcolm Ross, "without strain from passion to irony, from lyricism to the play of wit. The imagery is fresh and always apt and the freedom of [the] verse is never out of control." Unlike many first books, Paradise Garage combines a rich imaginative experience with a mature sensibility.
