The Human Songbook by James Sorcic (1974)


The Human Songbook

Jim Orvino-Sorcic

Morgan Press

Milwaukee, WI

(c)1974

Within the saga of this marriage coming apart while raising a daughter separately/together, in 1974 Jim was still publishing as "Orvino-Sorcic" even though this chapbook is dedicated to a different woman. It is an oddly sized book to be sure. The poems tell of the upheaval and disintegration of a relationship found to be "faked" with bitter consequences as must be lived. It's heart-wrenching and truthful. As good writing needs to be.
