Synopsis
"Solonche is productive and prolific, but that doesn't water down his poetry... He can compress a philosophical treatise into three lines... His epigrammatic tidy poems are philosophic gems. Solonche sees humor and encapsulates it; he frames a thought in perfect verse... He's playful and profound - the more he writes, the more he seems to know. Beneath the Solonche simplicity are significant social comments, and his goodwill reinforces the best in us." -Grace Cavalieri
SAMPLE POEM:
Deaf Child Area
I have driven the road
many times, but have
never seen the deaf child,
not in the driveway, not in
the yard, not in the window.
But the sign has been there
a long time, so the child
may no longer be around.
I'd like to think just that.
I'd like to think the deaf
child grew up, went to
college, married, moved
away to start a life. I'd like
to think the parents, now
old and alone in the house,
left the sign there to say to
us drivers passing by, "Slow
down. Open the window.
Open your ears. Hear the
birds. Hear the horses. Hear
the wind. Hear the laughter
of the years."
