Hummock in the Malookas: Poems (National Poetry Series Books (Paperback)) Paperback – November 17, 1996

I was surprised to see the book in my mailbox so soon. I had just received notice that it was shipped on the 6th and received it on the 7th. Thank you so much for the swift delivery and the great condition of the book!

If you have the slightest interest in poetry, I can't imagine a single reason why you wouldn't enjoy this book. Matthew Rohrer is clearly one of the great rising stars in modern American poetry, and this collection is an excellent introduction to his mastery, skill, and clever wit. I once attended a reading of his at the Brroklyn Museum of Art, and was impressed because he was such a nice, modest young man. He was clearly talented and full of ideas, yet also the kind of guy you would want to hang out with at the office and talk to over a couple of beers.You will not regret buying this book. Poetry should be a vital part of everyday life, and Matthew Rohrer should be a vital part of everyone's poetry collection.

Excellent
