The Orangery
By Gilbert Sorrentino
Each poem in this remarkable collection is a
variation on "orange," which appears and re–
appears as a color, a fruit, a memory, an
intrusion, a word seeking a rhyme, a pres–
ence expected and awaited. Exploding with
color and containing a deep levity,
Th e
Orangery
appears finally as a comedy of the
contemporary white American soul.
"Gilbert Sorrentino has captured beautifully
the sadness, mystery and humor of life in our
America ."-John Ashbery

fully realized.
