Book excerpt: Steve Orlen is the foremost contemporary embodiment of the poetic legacy of Randall Jarrell. Orlen's poems are more streetwise, but they have Jarrell's sad, wise eyes, the not-quite-jaded wonder, the vision of our folly which both sees and forgives. And the voice, in its alloy of the ruthless and the sentimental, is Jarrellian, a vehicle of such casual, confiding earnestness, one hardly notices the many chord changes, the masterful loosening and tightening of the narrative coils.
