Review

"[D]elightful....Gerstler is skilled in every type of comedy, from slapstick to whimsy. Yet there's a deep seriousness in every one of these poems....As grave as they are amusing and always bittersweet, these poems pay up again and again. DEAREST CREATURE is an A.T.M.--the letters standing, in this case, for 'artistic thrill machine.' In Amy Gerstler I trust."

Publisher's note

Hallucinogenic plants chant in chorus. A thoughtful dog grants an interview. A caterpillar offers life advice. Amy Gerstler's newest collection of poetry, DEAREST CREATURE, marries fact and fiction in a menagerie of dramatic monologues, twisted love poems, and epistolary pleadings. Drawing on sources as disparate as Lewis Carroll and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, as well as abnormal psychology, etiquette, and archaeology texts, these darkly imaginative poems probe what it means to be a sentient, temporary, flesh-and- blood beast, to be hopelessly, vividly creaturely.

A latest collection by the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author of Bitter Angel is comprised of disparate works that consider such fantastical scenarios as a chorus chant by hallucinogenic plants, a dog that grants an interview, and a caterpillar that offers life advice. Original.
