Summary: Poems worthy of multiple visits
Comment: Some poets write poems that are momentarily enjoyed, then forgotten. Kim Addonizio writes poems that have stickability.
Tell Me illustrates this, with poems like "The Divorcee and Gin." The opening line, "I love the frosted pints you come in," segues into a meditation on gin that is so full of specifics you can almost smell the alcohol. There is an inherent sensuality at work, with lines like "...God, I love/what you do to me at night when we're alone" and this quality brings a physical edge to the reader. That by the final lines we realize it's a love poem, is a testament to the skill of the poet. It comes as no surprise that her work is praised by so many other poets, including Billy Collins and Carolyn Kizer.
Addonizio is a consummate craftsman, and in exploring her work, I've come to realize that every comma, line break, and nuance is carefully considered and expertly placed. She's a poet I recommend frequently to novices and seasoned readers as well. She's a poet that I believe will be remembered. This book offers sonnets, free verse, and prose poems that are narrative confessional, but they don't just belong to the poet. They're our poems as well.

Summary: Awesome
Comment: I read this book in my advanced creative writing class at Roger Williams University. We all enjoyed the book so much. Kim came to my school and gave informal talks and a reading. She was great. I love her voice in this book. She is straight forward and honest. She puts a great spin on poetry. Her other books are great too! Read them!

Summary: Kim Addonizio, Poetry Goddess
Comment: If I could meet one poet in the world, it would be this poet. I am in love with the way she writes. She is so artful yet edgy! I don't know how she does it, but I bow down before her. It kills me to have to wait so long for her next book!
