You're the real thing-the way you're able to write on such an enormous variety of subjects and though the forms change the voice is consistent. [Because] the writing is rooted in the daily lives of actual, or in some cases, mythological characters, you can get away with a measure of mystery. I like you best when you're a little mysterious, or maybe more than a little. Have you got a new book out or on the way? I'll look for it!

-Philip Levine Excerpt from a Letter

Schorb has an excellent, polished and sophisticated technique in whatever manner he approaches a poetic theme and these are many. The pathos of love, nihilism, and spirituality are all covered and often brought out via descriptions of small scenic events like theater clips crafted into a free and flowing verse where the poet is speaking as often as not through another's voice or persona.

-Robin Ouzman Hislop, Editor Poetry Life and Times

To be a first-class poet requires a fluency of language, mastery of a vocabulary sufficient to express seminal, original thoughts set down with rhythm, with imagery, and with descriptive evocation that communicates flawlessly with the recipient of the poetry of verse. Such is the case with the poetry of E. M. Schorb.
