What used to be called "the war between the sexes" is now being duked out with great passion and finesse by Reb Livingston in this collection of take-no-prisoners poems. In Your Ten Favorite Words no one is let off the hook, least of all the feisty scribe herself. Sassy, freaky, comic, vulnerable, and to use her one of her very own neologisms, "gleefullized," Reb Livingston's poems are a shot in the arm and a throb in the brain, a rebellious erotics of language, an irrepressible manifesto of the vagaries of the libido, complete with deep mischievousness and dark misgivings. If you've been wondering where poems by the next generation of whip smart, tender/tough women can be found: Eureka! A book full of them is right here. --Amy Gerstler
