Top Teen Greatest Hits - Carol Wierzbicki - Bog

"Wierzbicki's poems are like early Corso, before the Beats, when he got straight to the point quickly, with great beauty. Her words carry the necessary freight with terrific speed and economy--look how spare and yet terribly lovely 'Dorothy's Poem' is--it breaks your heart with absolute efficiency. If poetry is to proceed into the future with any sort of relevancy, this is one way it might do so."--RON KOLM, co-author of NEO PHOBE (with Jim Feast); "Carol Wierzbicki's TOP TEEN GREATEST HITS is a big hit. In each of her fourteen poems, Ms. Wierzbicki mastered the technique of storytelling through perception and simplicity-- her rite of passage to be read and shared by all."-- PATRICIA CARRAGON, Brownstone Poets
