a lot of these poems were just unmemorable for me, they didn't connect and i really wanted them to.

Fantastic.

Everything she writes is just phenomenal.

A lot of her poems touched me personally, the ones dealing with the aftermath of a relationship. Because there's no book on that, there's no realistic movie or show on how to deal with it. Her poems are just so visceral and moving.

I'm also a big fan of the fact there's some found poetry in the book. Poems that came from lines in emails and such. I can't wait until she releases another book and I am on the hunt to buy every thing else she's all ready written.

Gottlieb's voice is authentic, precise, and conversational all at the same time. The ordinary to the subversive is all fodder for poetry in Gottlieb's world, and that is a world that we should all be a part of. Though I like her original work (as opposed to her found in emails, text books, and new stories) best, she has a way of illuminating a subtext no matter where the words themselves originate.
