Summary of this Book...
Gerald Stern's collection of new and selected poems is the best of the best. Vivid images, great music.
This type of Book is good for...
Inspiring you to write your own poetry!
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?"
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
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. :)
I recommend this Book because...
Everyone needs to read some good poetry once in awhile.
Further Comments...
Also read American Sonnets. I'm planning on reading his memoir soon in order to get some further insites into his life.
