Product Description Annie Reiner's poetry explores our deepest thoughts and feelings in a sometimes profound, sometimes playful way. Often they are both, achieving a balance that echoes the balance in the mind which her poems describe. Writer Benjamin Weissman found her work to have "genuine insight that is comic and surreal." The title poem of The Naked I was a winner of the 1992 Los Angeles Poetry Festival. Review A young poet with a playful turn of mind visits her private places 'though I don't know the way/and cannot go there without you.' Delightful journey -- Weaver, John D. Annie Reiner is a poet, and a fine poet at that. I am glad my friends will be able to enjoy The Naked I -- Angelou, Maya Here are parables in primary colors, full of a survivor's wisdom and the power of a poet in her prime, about being alive in the last moments of the old millennium and the first moments of the new one. Annie Reiner's The Naked I is an astonishing book -- Saroyan, Aram From the Publisher Reiner is a writer, painter and author/illustrator of four children's books.
