Great browsing book
Kizer had to make difficult decisions when choosing only 100 poems to represent over 100 years worth of women poets. But what we end up with is 100 female poets, each with a strong unique voice. It's a wonderful anthology in which to discover new authors and revisit old favorites. Important and enjoyable.

For vegetarians with limited time, this book is tops!

It takes me more than 30 minutes (more like an hour) to make a whole meal: rice, dahl, vegetable dish & raita, although, with my son helping we can do it ...

Simply Delightful
I loved this book! Growing up as a Jewish girl in the 1970's on the east coast, I thought this book was so creative and extremely well written. In fact, I couldn't put it down. Yes, parts are silly, but it is so well written that I had a smile on my face the entire time. I can't wait to read more by this author. Perhaps other cannot relate to it, especially the significant amount of Jewish ...

Ecco, 2006

Imperfect--exactly as it should be.
I raced through the first two-thirds of Adverbs and savored the remainder. I needed to think about it; digest it. It was messy, it represents San Francisco exactly as it is--weird; backward, full of strange characters and slightly, bizarrely dangerous. Mostly, though, this book is about love and how it makes you feel and what it does to you. In that respect and the odd magical realism that love ...
