Animal is Neeli Cherkovski's best work of poetry placing him alongside those whom he brilliantly biographizes in Whitman's Wild Children. The lyricism is direct yet unfailingly beautiful with universal metaphors that call to mind indigenous peoples, the Holocaust, the natural elements, vibrant colors and the beautitude of life. This book is a find and has been passed around in undergound circles with the utmost respect. After checking out Neeli on screen in the new Bukowski film, read Animal and realize why he could soar to greater heights in the 21st Century. Support local bookstores if you can.
