Review of Trying to Help the Elephant Man Dance by Tim Suermondt
Some
people dance through life changing everything and everybody they touch for the
better. They imagine goodness and a wonder-filled life that might someday be;
then they try to make it happen. Unfortunately, very few poets count themselves
among this happy hopeful group; most versifiers seem to prefer the harrowing
reality of the coffin lid. Tim Suermondt differs greatly from those other
poets—the morose ones, that is—and, besides, he sings, mimics Cary Grant and
understands the religious experience of a well-made grilled cheese sandwich. For more of my review go here: http://dougholder.blogspot.com/2014/10/trying-to-help-elephant-man-dance-by.html
