5.0 out of 5 stars
dearest poet,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dearest Creature (Poets, Penguin) (Mass Market Paperback)
I normally don't buy poetry (or read it much), but a review quoted part of the opening poem in Amy Gerstler's collection Dearest Creature and I was hooked. Once I'd read the poems, the volume became one of my favorite Christmas gifts (seven more copies). One copy went to a friend who is a published poet and she was most approving (rare praise from her). Others cited it as the best gift they had received. It is a gift! If it only contained the poem, "For my Niece Sidney, Age Six" it would be worth it, but there are many more treasures in this slim volume. Like Sidney, who is described as "gripping your book like the steering wheel of a race car you're learning to drive" you'll be taking this volume with you as wonderful company through life's many tedious moments.

This is decidedly not a learned review of a book of poetry. I don't buy poetry books tho' I do read a lot. So, after seeing a rave in the NY Times Book Review, I tried this one out...and love it! Try a page or two on this site (it it's possible) to get the flavor of this poet's writing. If it hits you like it did me, you will buy it and enjoy.
