Review # 1 was written on 2020-05-16 00:00:00 Andrew Stewart Louise Gluck gets far too much credit as a poet than she deserves. Her work is too weak, too verbose and unfeeling. What did hold so much promise for me resulted in a disappointment far too great to describe. Sadly I submit to anyone reading this review that buying into the praise found in this book leaves you with bad company. Better served when engaged with the likes of Wallace Stevens, Jack Gilbert, Emily Dickinson, and Eugenio Montale and then know what poetry has the power to be.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-06-06 00:00:00 Virginia Sanchez This was a fantastic look at how competition is fundamentally destructive to human life. Competition is lauded in everything in our culture, from economics to sports, career advancement, and bleeds into nearly everything we do, say, and think. Yet as this meticulously researched book shows, competition hurts everyone, increases stress, anxiety and depression, makes our news less informed, our lives less healthy and happy, and turns our political system into a sham. I would put this book on every Basic Human Existence 101 class. Should be required reading for, well, everyone.
