Remember how sometimes you'll walk through your usual day and suddenly see something in a way that makes you grin (at least internally) a YES? Sid Gold's poems do that. These poems see clearly and speak the honest language of everyday. Their distinctive energy derives from his gutsy approach and from his surprising and delighting images. Golds poems have the dual good sense of lacking pretension and of carrying evocative pictures of the life energy in his city of Working Vocabulary, a city that welcomes and rewards re-visitings.

Poems by Sid Gold: In this mix of conventional stanzaic poems and prose poems linked together by skillful use of wordplay, sounds, wisdom, and glimpses of a personal narrative Gold reminds us that even though we may be able to tell what some things are and others are not, much in this world still eludes us.
