Never be the horse. (Akron Series in Poetry)

Summary: Stunning!
Review: These are remarkable, luscious, haunting poems. Beckian Fritz Goldberg writes with a musician's ear. There is silence and staccato in this work. And what is most astonishing about the individual pieces in the book is the pleasure of their syntax. Goldberg has found a new rhythm with her poetry that is not afraid to challenge language.

Summary: A Book Rich With Language, A Must-Have!
Review: This collection was an absolute pleasure to read, reawakening my faith in poetry. Unpretentious and honest in its attempts to own language, it provides the reader, poem after poem, with stunning lines: "let the windows find their own faces, there is too much through them at night"; "Open the cupboard, cherries rounded up in the darkness." This is a book of revelations, daunting and exact. I had read some of this poet's work in Field and in American Poetry Review, so I was anxious to finally get my hands on this treasure of a book.
