"Fans of Gerda Mayer will be delighted with her new collection. Short, spare, deceptively simple…her range is wide. The poems have a vivid imagistic clarity…deliciously wicked…bittersweet sadness…" - Katie Campbell CITY LIMITS"One of the most tactful namers of the Holocaust but her poems of everyday disenchantment are deepened by a powerful bitterness. She is funny but never a stand-up comedian. Like Stevie Smith she writes children's rhymes for grown-ups." - Peter Porter THE OBSERVER
