Summary: another winner from addonizio
Comment: I very excitedly waited for Addonizio's latest collection of poetry to come out, and even though I didn't have the money, I bought it within a couple of weeks of its publication. And I read slowly so that I could savor this collection. Addonizio is a phenomenal poet--probably the best of her generation--a mix of Anne Sexton and Edna St. Vincent Millay. I will admit that this is the weakest of her collections (though it would be hard to top Tell Me and The Philosopher's Club). Even so, it is great work, especially "First Kiss" and "Stolen Moments" which are classic Addonizio. Also of note are "Dear Reader" and "Fever Blues" and "California Street" which is definitely one of the best in the book. She also writes a well done sonnenizio (it's explained in the book) and a very workable paradelle. I can never say enough good about the work of Kim Addonizio, and her latest collection is no exception.

Summary: And she rocks again.
Comment: I am a devote fan of Kim Addonizio, gobbling up all of her work as fast as I can. And while I love that this collection continues her voice and her stuggle against the world, I do think that this collection is weaker than Tell Me or The Philospher's Club. This collection is divided into 5 sections corresponding to love, death, ways of the world, booze, and other. Her writing is very confessional and bluesy. She even refers to Sharon Olds, and a "form" of Billy Collins. I recommend this book to anyone who loves to read about love and heartache,the pains of mourning, the efforts of raising a daughter and the difficulties of minor celebrity.
