Dear Good Naked Morning follows Adam Zagajewski's admonishment, "Try to praise the mutilated world." Poem after poem here, beginning with the naked bravery of the title, caused my eyes to open wide, my breath to catch, made me shout aloud with delight at some fresh excess of insight, some dazzling flicker of truth, some spurt of living metaphor, some wild phrase of music. Here is an homage to our beautiful failures; for once, then, as another poet said--for once, then, something. -- Alicia Ostriker Click the cover to buy this book.
