Index of Women Book by Amy Gerstler, Los Angeles author writer and poet

Index of Women

  • "[Gerstler has been] one of my favorite poets since I read her book Bitter Angel. Now I have every book of hers on my shelves." 

    —Maggie Smith, author of Good Bones

  •  “Intimate, funny, poignant, present . . . true to the inner lives of so many women . . . beautifully crafted . . . what’s miraculous […] is that this clamor of voices across continents and centuries somehow amounts to the experience of a single mortal: she contains our multitudes.” 

    —Dinah Lenney, in Los Angeles Review of Books, author of The Object Parade

  • "[Gerstler's poetry is] extremely rich. But not cluttered and not loud . . . the supernatural, the sexy mundane, the out-of-sight are simply her materials, employed as they might be in a piece of religious art." 

    —Eileen Myles, author of Evolution
