Eliot's Violin: Poems

PRAISE FOR *ELIOT’S VIOLIN*: “Kevin Rabas continues to poetically explore what it means to have wonder in the world with his collection. He explores childhood, children growing up, growing old, and the power we each have in whatever station in life we find ourselves. Kevin's poems about his son show how magic can be found in a bowstring or a cellphone: 'blue and white fire / in one cupped palm.' Also poems about Kevin's own childhood and formative years convey the magic and tragedy of what being human means, surrounded by 'the shadows of bullies right outside.' Just as his poem "Kansas City" explains, ‘That kid. He does us good.’" ~ Dennis Etzel Jr. ** Note: Despite what is listed below, this title is published by Oil Hill Press (El Dorado, KS), John Jenkinson, editor. **
