Poetry. "If one reads enough Hal Sirowitz poems, the whole world seems to become material for poetry. That is part of the gift of his work.... Sirowitz's poetry is a celebration of ordinary life, and in its own way may signal the most radical democratization of poetry since the work of Whitman first appeared....
