Wow

This book was given to me as a gift and for someone who doesn't usually read poetry, I enjoyed it immensely. The poems are incredibly personal and well written. I definitely would give this book to friends.

Wonderful!

Amy Gerstler's work is wonderful, imaginative, personal yet universal. Even for those who usually do not enjoy poetry will love this collection. I've sent copies to friends who now also have have high praise for Amy Gerstler.
