Customer Reviews

poetry for every day yearnings

I have enjoyed reading about how our yearnings and fears can alter our every day experiences. It is very accessible poetry.

"This Dirty Little Heart" is award winning, and rightfully so

The debut anthology of poetry from The Oregonian Editor B.T. Shaw and what a debut it is. "This Dirty Little Heart" is award winning, and rightfully so, as it's unlike much poetry readers will find elsewhere in the genre - a flowing, stream of conscious narrative, quirky, yet unique and vivid in its words and imagery that it so provokes from its readers. "This Dirty Little Heart" is a must have for poetry lovers everywhere, and worthy of its place in any community library poetry collection.
