American Sonnets: Poems

Summary: Go Gerry
Review: As a former student of Dr Sterns (way back in the 70's) this book brings back many of my own memories. As Dr. Stern grew up in the coal fields of Pa, the references strike me very deeply as I remember the same things he is writing about. His humor continues to be jacketed in serious thoughts, but just as in class, his brillance shines thur.

Summary: An American Master!
Review: This book, from my understanding, is Mr. Stern's first book after his New and Selected Poems, which won the American Book Award. He is an American Master! My wife, who studied under him at the University of Iowa, has been a die-hard fan all her adlut life. Mr. Stern's tough look at the world and soft touch to the heart has won me, a scientist who believes not all things can me explained, over too.
