Editorial Reviews

And when you've had enough and need to say goodbye to all that, there's Kiss Off: Poems to Set You Free, edited by Mary D. Esselman and Elizabeth Ash V lez, who brought you The Hell with Love: Poems to Mend a Broken Heart, and whom the press chat calls "Georgetown University literature instructors, best friends, and proponents of `literary therapy.' " They break the book into categories like "Hurting: When Things Fall Apart," "Reeling: When You Go Wild" and "Dealing: When You Face Facts," and include canonical and contemporary poems from everyone from Wang Wei to Claude McKay and Kim Konopka. By the time readers reach the "Believing: When You Stay Strong" section, they'll have absorbed a lot of poetry in the process of clearing the psychic decks.
