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.

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.

Amy Gerstler is one of the most interesting contemporary poets writing today. Her poems evoke a strange (and often humorous and dark) world touching directly on our lives today. This is a riveting collection of multi-faceted works that you will want to read over and over.

I had been waiting anxiously for the release of this book of one of my favorite painters. After looking through it last night, I can say it was worth the wait! Waterston's work is represented beautifully and the book's design pulls it all together quite well. St. Ann's Press and all involved did an excellent job.
The only wish I have is that Waterston's older work, pieces with his signature curtain-like paint smears and drips, would have had a bit more representation. But that's just me. I highly recommended adding this to your collection of art books, and I can't imagine that these first editions will be available for long.
