The Elephant of Surprise

By Charles Harper Webb

Charles Harper Webb's new collection of prose poems reaffirms his reputation as one of the liveliest and most inventive poets writing today. A rooster who becomes an attorney, a photocopier that turns schlock into best-sellers-behind the wild, often hilarious exteriors of these poems, the reader will find psychological depth, emotional truth, and yes, passion. Robert Frost declared that good poetry "begins in delight and ends in wisdom." The Elephant of Surprise fills the bill.
