A turn for the verse
With a title like The Underwear Salesman: And Other Jobs for Better or Verse you're bound to attract more than a few curious literary onlookers and, perhaps, one or two young job seekers. This series of poems by J. Patrick Lewis (of Please Bury Me in the Library fame) focuses on career possibilities running the gamut from ice sculptor, belly dancer and banana picker to elevator operator, garbage collector, and highway line painter. And in a stroke of well-placed wisdom, "Poet" lyrically describes the bard's life: "I take a word, and then another, / Let them get to know each other." Each poem is a joy and Serge Bloch's snazzy illustrations add to the mirth of poems such as "Plumber": "Here's a job to call your own when you're in the twoilet zone."
