5.0 out of 5 stars Evocative Images Framed With Imagination And Perception, September 23, 1999
By greenpoet (Worcester, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This is a wonderful book of poems that I love reading aloud. The images are real yet one can read their own experience in the stories and reflections that Ms. Rosenberg presents. Though at times some pieces may seem dark, there is an uplifting undercurrent that runs throughout them, a sense of humanity that touches me with its hopefulness amid the challenges of modern life. I particularly enjoy the gentle twists that she employs; they are powerful in driving home her vision but also make me sit back with wonder. I highly recommend this collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful poems! great anthology, June 9, 2009
I find a little of everything in this book. The Romantic poets used to carry a book around in their pockets-- this is the kind of book they'd have wanted to carry around. Covers a wide range of types of poets, and eras, styles, and subjects. One of my favorite Neruda poems is in here, and a great poem by the poet Rilke, but I discovered a few new favorites, too.
