Poetry. Steve Orlen is the foremost contemporary embodiment of the poeticlegacy of Randall Jarrell. Orlens poems are more streetwise but they haveJarrells sad wise eyes the notquitejaded wonder the vision of our follywhich both sees and forgives. And the voice in its alloy of the ruthless andthe sentimental is Jarrellian a vehicle of such casual confidingearnestness one hardly notices the many chord changes the masterful looseningand tightening of the narrative coils. Keen in their social observation attimes bluntly personal full of slow builds and quick stabs these poems arerich in what Jarrell called the ordinariness of life where people go whatpeople do the ways of life. Their real subject is the educationinprogressof the soul always a stranger and the bemused inquiring witness of narrationitself. «
