Once again, S. A. Gerber has laid out some pieces for your perusal and hopefully, enjoyment. For his second volume, he has sifted from thirteen years of tattered notebooks. The pieces cover a wide variety of subjects ranging from depression, elation, feast and famine. From religious faiths to political views, and from observation to obituaries. Many of these pieces have received praise in poetry venues in different cities. As "a present day writer of poetry", (Gerb dislikes the term "Poet") he tries to employ an economy of words, some rhyming and some non-rhyming, to complete whatever picture he intends to present, be it positive, negative, frustrated, angry, or comical. He has been called by fellow scribes everything from "a wannabe Whitman with too much Poe" to "a high bottom Bukowski". Like James Russell Lowell he hopes not to make one impression, but a thousand.
"The reader cannot help but be swept up in the depth of feelings and wisdom presented herein."
-Stephen Crawford
Associate Professor
Columbia College Hollywood
S. A. Gerber is a native of Los Angeles, California currently living in Las Vegas, Nevada. His work has appeared in such diverse publications as Desert Voices and the Blue Collar Review. His first volume of poetry, Under the Radar is available on or from him directly (contact information in the introduction). He is still working on a first novel, and as a volunteer Gerb also gives his time to Heaven Can Wait, a no-kill, non-profit animal organization promoting prevention, where he writes for their blog and performs the "strenuous" job of socializing kittens for adoption.

S.A. Gerber’s INVENTORY has three magnificent sections, “This & That”, “In Memorium”, “Exorcism”, plus a marvelous poem at the end, “Benediction.” This is a brilliant “inventory” from thirteen years of his notebooks, covering a wide range of subjects, from people’s personal faiths to his own individual revelations. One section alone, “Memoriam”, makes the book well worth purchasing. Here you find poems honoring Jack Kerouac (“The road and its demons/eventually take a toll.”), J.D. Salinger (‘Jerry, you pulled it off!”), Charles Bukowski (“Hank, you wrote of the cheap rooms, cheap bars, and/the cheap life.”), Ken Kesey (“I didn’t even hear the news...I saw it”), Hunter S. Thompson (“I am proud to have been wounded.”), John Lennon (“But he is forever forty.”), George Harrison (“Another icon taken...removed.”), John Coltrane (“Blowing ‘Trane,/all down the line./The tracks all rattle,/double-four time.”), James Dean (“Jimmy, are ya’ up there?”), and many others. Richly rewarding, you must take a trip with these many icons across America!Product details

Inventory Poems 19992012 S a Gerber 9781457520983 Books Reviews
S. A. Gerber, a Los Angeles writer, is one of the finest practitioners of the resurrected art form of the poetic sonnet. His two volumes of "Under the Radar" and "Inventory" fully explore the actual mindset and reasoning of the entire nineteen sixties generation that has prompted changeable repercussions in every tier of American Society. S. A. Gerber alone has carried on the personas of numerous historical and insightful writers in limited verse, and has revived a lost form of educational literacy.
