Both wild and calm, boisterous and quiet, the poems in \u003ci\u003eElephants\u0026amp;Butterflies\u003c\/i\u003e use surprise, song, and startling metaphor while allowing the ideas to simmer just below the surface of the lyric. The poems manage the difficult task of being highly readable and accessible, while still containing complex philosophical and personal knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlan Michael Parker\u003c\/b\u003e (www.amparker.com) teaches at Davidson College in Davidson, North Carolina.
