Amy Gerstler has won acclaim for complex yet accessible poetry that is by turns extravagant, subversive, surreal, and playful. In her new collection, Medicine , she deploys a variety of dramatic voices, spoken by such disparate characters as Cinderella's wicked sisters, the wife of a nineteenth-century naturalist, a homicide detective, and a woman who is happily married to a bear. Their elusive collectivity suggests, but never quite defines, the floating authorial presence that haunts them. Gerstler's abiding interests--in love and mourning, in science and pseudo-science, in the idea of an afterlife--are strongly evident in these new poems, which are full of strong emotion, language play, surprising twists, and a wicked sense of black humor.
"[Gerstler] has created a singular body of work, at once witty, daring, and full of pathos. . . . she is the wisecracker in the face of the inexplicable."-- Los Angeles Times
"Gerstler is as subtle and mercurial a contemporary lyricist as we have. In sly, shifting dramatic voices and identities, from poem to poem and line to line, she tempts us unsettlingly with her skillfully calculated, elusive metamorphoses." -- San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle
