I especially liked... | ||
The poems that mention Pennsylvania, the place where Stern was born. Especially the one about my hometown! | ||
I didn't like... | ||
Sometimes his poems get a little long-winded and I find myself wondering, "What does this have to do with anything?" | ||

Emulate his style, attempt to write great poetry about nature. | ||
This Book made me feel... | ||
Like there was hope in the world. | ||
The author of this Book... | ||
Is a very nice man. I actually got to meet him last semester at my campus. He is such a down-to-earth person with a great sense of humor. He was actually my poetry teacher's poetry teacher, which makes me feel kind of special. :) | ||
