Fred Zirm rated a book it was amazing Bloom and Laceration: poems by Ralph Black	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Black is an awesomely talented poet. I was moved by the way he combines highly realistic observations about both the human and natural worlds with flights of surreal imagination- all in language that soars and sings without sounding strained. Highly ...more

Fred Zirm rated a book it was amazing Ada and the Engine by Lauren Gunderson	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Gunderson is a marvelous writer, and this is probably the best of the half dozen or so plays of hers that I have read or seen. It reminds me of Stoppard's Arcadia in the way it creatively dramatizes the connection between the life of the mind and the ...more

Fred Zirm rated a book it was amazing The History of Our Vagrancies by Jason Irwin (Goodreads Author)	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Exceptionally powerful poetry. Takes an unflinching look at the limitations we all face (to one extent or another) and still manages to find humor and hope. These poems find the universal through the intensely personal.

Fred Zirm rated a book it was amazing A Doll's House, Part 2 by Lucas Hnath	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Hnath uses Ibsen's play as a springboard for a complex dramatic examination of what it means to be with other people, particularly within a marriage. Each of the four characters gets their say and (for me, at least), there is no clear winner. Instead ...more

As an adoptive parent, I found this book very eye opening as it helps me understand the questions and uncertainties that adopted children face, even (or especially) as adults. Very effectively written as a mosaic of thoughts, images, incidents, etc. ...more
