Wardrobe of Secrets

WARDROBE OF SECRETS covers a vast terrain. These poems come from every corner of a rich inner life: from moments of tenderness, and moments of irritation; from snippets of an overheard conversation; from random shards of words; from passages-read or misread-from the works of other authors; and especially from phrases that float into the crepuscular borderlands between sleep and wakefulness.

Some poems are responses to recent events; others have been brewing for decades. But while the subject matter is diverse, and the emotional tone varied, these poems are united by Mike Liebowitz's probing and unceasingly curious mind; and by his scrupulous search for precision in describing what he sees and feels. The honesty and integrity of the observer is evident everywhere.
