-Anton Yakovlev
The first poem in Midge Goldberg's new collection concludes, "I need the frame." Goldberg's artistry provides frames we all need. Her compact poems contain and ponder a variety of objects, situations, and phenomena, from an ice tray to a coffee maker, from GPS to Minnie Mouse. Throughout this rich book, a rewarding principle prevails: Goldberg's deft deployment of forms, and her wry and tender voice, combine to ensure that what her frames enclose they also celebrate. I'm glad I disobeyed the stern injunction of the collection's title, To Be Opened After My Death.
-Rachel Hadas
What a wonderful collection . . . a genuine pleasure from start to finish. Those familiar with Midge Goldberg's poetry will recognize her originality of wit, formal virtuosity, and knack for inhabiting and reinventing objects as commonplace as an ice tray, a hanging plant, or an empty shell, and making them extraordinary. Fairy tales are reimagined as "SmartTales." A sonnet reveals Minnie Mouse's true nature (and name). Workers at a place called "The Inn" disclose details of their experience with lively intimacy. Philip Larkin needn't have worried that poetry could lose its "pleasure-seeking audience . . . the only audience worth having." This wise and entertaining collection succeeds with flying colors in holding onto that audience for good.
