- Summary:
- "LIKE consists of fifty poems every one of which uses the word "like." As the title suggests, LIKE is about people and things Layton likes -- or, sometimes, dislikes. In these poems, Layton expresses a gamut of emotions, from the fear of death to the peaceful contentment of watching two nesting Canadian geese. However, "like" as more than an emotionally charged verb. It is also the basis of simile. It is by likening one thing to another that Layton finds meaning in ordinary things. Since all things are alike in some way, LIKE is a book of poetry about the underlying unity of all creation."-- Provided by publisher.
