| Description: | Select Guide Rating Amy Gerstler has won acclaim for sly, sophisticated, and subversive poems that find meaning in unexpected places. Women''s voices, from childhood to old age, dominate this new collection of rants, dramatic monologues, confessions and laments. A young girl muses on virginity. An aging opera singer rages against the fact that she must quit drinking. A woman in a supermarket addresses a head of lettuce. The tooth fairy finally speaks out. Both comic and prayer-like, these poems wrestle with mortality, animality, love, gender, and what it is to be human. |
