Once again, S. A. Gerber has laid out some pieces for your perusal and hopefully, enjoyment. For his second volume, he has sifted from thirteen years of tattered notebooks. The pieces cover a wide variety of subjects ranging from depression, elation, feast and famine. From religious faiths to political views, and from observation to obituaries. Many of these pieces have received praise in poetry venues in different cities. As "a present day writer of poetry", (Gerb dislikes the term "Poet") he tries to employ an economy of words, some rhyming and some non-rhyming, to complete whatever picture he intends to present, be it positive, negative, frustrated, angry, or comical. He has been called by fellow scribes everything from "a wannabe Whitman with too much Poe" to "a high bottom Bukowski". Like James Russell Lowell he hopes not to make one impression, but a thousand. "The reader cannot help but be swept up in the depth of feelings and wisdom presented herein." -Stephen Crawford Associate Professor Columbia College Hollywood S. A. Gerber is a native of Los Angeles, California currently living in Las Vegas, Nevada. His work has appeared in such diverse publications as Desert Voices and the Blue Collar Review. His first volume of poetry, Under the Radar is available on Amazon.com or from him directly (contact information in the introduction). He is still working on a first novel, and as a volunteer Gerb also gives his time to Heaven Can Wait, a no-kill, non-profit animal organization promoting prevention, where he writes for their blog and performs the "strenuous" job of socializing kittens for adoption.
