Vivid, insightful poetry collection

Leznoff's second poetry collection shows growth and renewal from his previous, the excellent Why We Go To Zoos. Outside Magic is an eclectic mix of quiet reflective poems, offbeat humor, eroticism and charged political works. There is a rare, authentic emotion in his poems on youth and growing up (Leznoff is a high school teacher), fatherhood and love. The poet uses a fresh, stimulating array of voices to woo us, cajole us, nudge us to awareness. Experimental, playful and wise - highly recommended.
