Good News: F.I. Goldhaber


F.I. Goldhaber has had a collection of poetry published by Uncial Press ofPortland, Oregon.


Pairs of Poems, a collection of forty-four poems written over a period offour years, examines various facets of our relationships with the world, andthe people, around us. The collection has been praised by well-known Pacific Northwest writers.


Marlene Howard, Co-founder Oregon Writers Colony and Oregon Book awardwinner, wrote: "I love the poet's use of colorful language and theaccessibility of the ideas to even a non-poet like me. The poet writes withequal pathos and sly humor about our current political morass and nature."


Poet Paulann Petersen author of The Wild Awake and Blood-Silk, writes: "Withan often politically satiric voice, Pairs of Poems embraces freeways andoceans, warehouse stores and forests, urban parks and picketers. In thesetwenty-two pairings, F.I. Goldhaber's images move easily from the domesticto the celestial, from a cat's small nose-smudges left on a window to themoon 'marked with sleep lines' at dawn. This collection is the candid recordof a seasoned writer who, when faced with 'plot roadblocks,' turns to a'steamy hot shower,' wondering with wit

'...how any good prose

was written before

running water.' "
