5.0 out of 5 stars Exuberant and startling
Poems like "Prelapsarian Mood Piece" and "Sounds Deeper than Human Silence" surprised and exhilarated me with their strategies of combining images. Dazzlingly inventive use of metaphor and montage makes for brilliant, passionate poems that I keep going back to study. Don't miss this one!
Published on September 11, 1998

1.0 out of 5 stars Buy Food or Music Instead
Gray Jacobik's The Double Task is terrible. Do not buy it--you'll only be wasting money on stock images and familiar rhetoric. Jacobik relies on the abstract and sentimental.

4.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, April 18, 2004
This review is from: The Double Task (Paperback)
This is beautiful work. I hate to use cliche words, but Jacobik writes with a gracefulness and musicality (and music is everywhere) that makes her poetry a true joy to read.

This review is from: The Double Task (Paperback)
What a joy to read the poetry of Gray Jacobik. Her imagery is lush and vibrant, evoking images that stay with one throughout the coming days. Skirts and Dust Storm are just two examples of Jacobik's gift. For those who seek great poetry, this book is a must-read.
