ORPHANOTROPHIA
Poems by Andrew Kozma

ISBN: 978-1-941462-20-1

“Orphanotrophia is a record of Andrew Kozma’s stellar ability to write unforgettable images that seem to sing off the page through rhymes so subtle they echo through to the final line and after. Reading each page reminds us that the role of the poet is being sure not to miss the beauty of the uncanny, the odd, and the ugly: ‘The bomb has a loving touch. It skins with a tailor’s grace…’ Kozma sees everything from every side, and to prove it, he employs the ‘O’ that is both a sigh and a song in unexpectedly original ways in this book of longing and praise.”
