Editorial Reviews
Review
These are poems like the tattoos she hymns and ponders--they mark our being with their delicate, indelible patterns --Greg Orr
The reader takes an unpredictable, exhilarating trip with the subject matter of Erika Meitner's poems--from memories of a hormone-charged adolescence in the big city, to adult affairs of love and lust and loss; from learning to teach in a classroom filled with pubescent fireplug mirrors of oneself, to confronting one's Jewish history at the hands of an equally fiery grandmother. But riding herd on all this range is Meitner's distinctly snappy voice, a blend of assertiveness and vulnerability. --Stephen Corey
By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Meitner casts a wry, empathic eye on the sanctities and subterfuges that keep us human. --Ron Wallace

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2003
I usually find contemporary poetry esoteric. But this fantastic collection speaks of real experiences and feelings, in a voice tuned to the meter of modern life. Ms. Meitner has really touched me with her personal insights on moments that affect us all.
