Way of the World

The dozens of poems collected here come from the soul of the author. Some inspired by dreams, some by life’s vicissitudes but all from the heart. Toni Orban’s poems are an attempt to connect to a deeper self. In the spirit of the Romantics but without structure and meter she peels back the layers to the unconscious. Using techniques in free-writing and writing in the dream state in order grab hold of her subconscious. She strives ‘tie it to a chair and make it speak’. What it has to “say” she hopes strikes a chord in the reader. Some of the poems are whimsical satirical limericks, but most dive deep into metaphor to mine out the the possible fathomless meanings we assign to life.
