Title: For Working Women
Product review: This is a somewhat short collection, 59 pages of actual poems with a lot of white space. The main emphasis is on working women, but many of the poems are about relationships. There is a range in style, length, and subject matter. The style ranges from the crude "Fight Song" to some of a more sentimental nature. Their length varies from one to three pages in an easy to read typeface (Palatino).Overall, it is a collection of 28 poems previously published in "The New Yorker" (where the author is an editor), "Elle," "The New York Times," "Open City," and "Slate." Like other collections, most readers will find some poems they like more than others. It is fun poetry for the masses. It is not for the psuedo-intellectuals who are wrapped up in great authors. A few of the poems remind me of the style/subject matter of Robert Service who wrote poems about everything from dieting to taxes...
