Not God After All

by Gerald Stern, Sheba Sharrow (Illustrator)

The author says in his "These aphorisms, petite narratives, whatever they are, were written over a period of two weeks in the Spring of 2002. They represent my feelings during that time, feelings that were angry, arch, focused, political, and unified. They also reflect both my reading and the sheer accident of my experience.

Reviews

[Gerry LaFemina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Gerald Stern's book of aphorisms reads like one long poem. Funny, flippant, wise, sometimes forgettable, but often powerful, these pieces show the various facets of one of the more interesting minds in American poetry.
