Poetry. "Whoever you are, take courage from these poems, for if they tell us that life's not for sissies, they also remind us that, in the end, we all have a shot at being heroes" - David Kirby. "Steve Gehrke's THE PYRAMIDS OF MALPIGHI is full of intelligence, passion, and surprise.This book promises great things to come, true enough-but it is already a great thing, challenging, weighty and satisfying"- T.R. Hummer.
There are good poems, great poems, and then every once in a while, there are poems that are evidence of indisputable genius. The poems in this exquisite and well-wrought book fall under the third category, and they're also brilliant meditations on what it means to have a human body -- and what it means when that body fails.
