Sandra liked Jan's review of This Is How You Lose the Time War: "Okay, but I could see too much of the scaffolding showing through. The romantic love was inexplicable and overwraught."

Smith has a distinctive voice that reckons with pain and trauma at the visceral level with thoughtfulness. Her poems reflect one person’s lifetime of coping while remaining connected with the human condition of the many. A few convey an existential d ...more

Sandra and 1 other person liked Jan's review of In the Catacombs: "Accessible poems by a writer who knows her art. In "Couple," the author bemoans that having left bohemian poverty, she can't write a righteous poem because she's no longer marginalized.

A poet with a deep well, Frank testifies to the premise I hold that we exist in several dimensions at once. We walk, dance, or play music (often the cello) through history, myth, and cosmic forces in many of her plain spoken verses. We learn memory a ...more

Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!) Goodreads honors wordsmiths: poets and poetry promoted and prompted here. ~~~ "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." -- Carl Sandburg “God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.” —Anne Sexton On Clouds – “…what primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another about…” —Yevgeny Zamyatin “If the poet wants to be a poet, the poet must force the poet to revise. If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association). Her latest collection, The Missing Museum, is a winner of the 2015 Tarpaulin Sky Book Prize.
