5.0 out of 5 stars Too bad this book is out of print, June 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Tremble: Poems (Paperback)

Too bad this book is out of print because I need to buy it. I recently heard C.D. Wright read from Tremble and I was deeply struck by the authenticity of her voice. Her poems are utterly original, true to the self, rythmically fascinating, and I believe she is a poet whose work will be read a hundred years from now. Her poems kick major...

C.D. Wright's poetry has a sway to it. It is honest, carnal. There's something dance-like about it. Its hard to pinpoint why I like it so much. Its just so full of life. I especially like her girl friend poems. They really struck a chord in me. This is my favorite line from Girl Friend Poem #2: "Today is the best day since yesterday/We share a sense of rivers..."

1.0 out of 5 stars Stick in a Pumkin, May 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Tremble: Poems (Paperback)

Sure, I get it. Get a box of that magnetic poetry stuff. stick the pieces inside a pumpkin and shake it all up. Tip the pumpkin upside down. Now make a poem (try to sound southern and rural). No, that's never been done before. yeah, this alphabet soup rates a billion stars. I can't wait for girlfriend poem # 814. Or a best friends series of hardhitting poems.
