Summary: A treasure
Review: I had never heard of Matthea Harvey when I picked up her book and flipped through it. But it didn't matter whether I heard her name before or not, her poems grabbed me by the cheeks and slammed my face into the pages. I instantly fell hard for this book and bought it on the spot. I love her style. She's fresh and smart. This is a happy book of poems that makes me laugh in full-fledged giddiness and awe at such wit, such brilliance. Matthea is like a slurpee with a hot pink bendy straw, and I mean that in the best sense of the word. Ahhh! Refreshing and uplifting. My new favorite poet. My favorite part? The first two lines of "Introduction to a Diction:" Galoshless. I / stood by the river, all ashiver. Gosh I was hoping for liver.

Summary: Yes!
Review: I read this book in a few different places, and if all those places ran together it would make this place; a train on the edge of my bed until the power went out at Asawa in a beanbag chair while talking on the phone at work on my lunchbreak before jogging in a taxi to the train.Take it with you -- it's a great book of poems.

Summary: basically this book rocks
Review: I think Harvey has done the impossible: written a very good sophmore effort. Funny and smart, the way poetry should read out of the academic efforts of current young writers.

Summary: what a masterpiece
Review: This book is wonderful -- clever, sincere, brilliant, hilarious, and heartfelt. Ms. Harvey's poetic world is populated by strange and amazing creatures (the 1st person; the cake-like baby; the lovely, cold princesses) that draw the reader in and make us wish the book would never end...
