Synopsis

The essence of a modern-day poet, Miriam Stanley's second book, Get Over It, encompasses 84 pages of original verse with subjects spanning world politics to the personal turmoil of the human psyche; musings of life, death, love, hate, joy, despair, laid out for observance and celebration. Miriam bears it all for everyone to see. In "A.B.", she writes about schizophrenia. And in "To Yaacov Ben Abraham", she weaves an account of Chassidic love in elegantly flowing voice. Miriam also writes about the Mideast; all penned with absolute mastery. Get Over It is a natural representation of Miriam Stanley's comedic/tragic style of writing that has earned her an honored place among New York City's crystalized poetry movement of the Lower East Side. As a whole, Miriam believes in faith and self-examination. She believes in beauty, education, and the mental well-being of her fellow man. Her influences include Muriel Rukeyser, Cornelius Eady, and Rigoberto Gonzalez.
