Customer Reviews

a staggering work of poetic genius

Totally amazing and worth every penny. With lines like "And if anybody has any extra love to spare, even a drop / I wish they wouldn't waste it on God," it's baffling why Suzanne Somers wasn't named Americas' Poet Laureate. You must read this!

Undiscovered

This definitely qualifies as "Splenda." That is to say, it sure ain't sugar. But at a starting price of $1.23, it's priceless, although not worth the shelf space.

"Shiver with difficulty and make us fall..."

There are so many priceless jewels here that I could never single one of them out for special praise. So let me instead offer one of Suzanne's lesser yet still beautiful efforts. If you are ravished by that, just imagine the even greater treasures in store for you within the covers of this slender volume. This one is called "The Lower Parts": And do I know exactly why it starts Slow, and have I those things which live towards the bottom, In the lower parts Of my heart? For the hardest meeting Is when it comes around but the manner is not right You take me there and then this one you draw aside Pretend you are distant Exactly, do not worry. But if I appreciate you with any heart In the lower parts You're this one there Do not have a need to worry when it's going to get hard. And if you cannot remain the baby This one time you will be all right. You bellow and burn and Your manner by the length the night you untie, And the resurgence itself with the light That this one extends towards the bottom In the lower parts. Shiver with difficulty and make us fall Why it's you who begins the slow call When you have those things which live towards the bottom, In the lower parts Of my heart.

"Touch"ing (heh)

I bought this paperback in 1988 in the sale bin at (a retail store), out of curiousity. (...) I would not give this book up for anything. Although when I was young, a lot of the poems didn't make sense, now that I am older, I see a lot of wisdom, experience, and just plain fun in Suzanne Somer's poems. It's a fun read, and something to which even a non-celebrity can relate! My personal favorite is the laundromat poem. . . .

Touch Me The Poems Of Suzanne Somers

I was first made aware of this work of poetry on Julie Brown's MTV television show "Just Say Julie" in the early 1990's. I immediately rushed to find a copy and was lucky enough to find one for 50 cents (As well as a sad eyed Keane portrait and an AUTOGRAPHED 8x10 of Gary Coleman.) at a local Swap Meet....I paid the man and now am very glad I did! I am sure I have gotten almost double the price I paid in the deep and knowing thoughts Miss Somers conveyed in this slim book. I hope it will give you the joy and hope that I have garnered from it. Don't ask me to part with it!
