Watch The Original Truth be told, I have a girl-crush. Amy King, the Poet, writes like Billy Jean King played tennis. Wham! Bang! Slam! The reviews of her work "Antidotes for an Alibi" are better than a lot of books. "Amy King's poems leap from small, fragile moments into grand gesture and godly vision. Her snapshots of downtown folklore connect on the most basic, truthful level", wrote Daniel Nester. And "Not many are as scrupulous as King is in steering their poems through the meanders in which feeling and observation push and pull at each other... King is a lyric poet who can pack enormous surprises into concentrated doses... these poems contain single lines so capacious you almost want to stretch out in them and spend the night" wrote Barry Schwabsky of Octopus Magazine, and there are a million more. Gertrude Stein, Edith Wharton, I'm dating myself I know, but she's so terrific, and she looks the part as well, fragile, but ... not. And of all things, Frank O'Connor, ... Frank O'Connor (can you just Imagine??) sent her this Louis Armstrong rendition of Muchachas. So this is my girl-crush tribute to Amy King. Next time, I'll be more grown-up and actually publish some of her work here. Oh ... and thanks Amy. (we haven't met, but she has a great sense of humor).- SUE

- doubtful that one would find such a veritable smorgasbord of stumbles in any other one place, I must say that I am impressed!

- amy, i don't know what planet you come from, but if the world had more people like you on it we would have fewer problems. i have to admit i followed your profile to your website..the way you live your life, and the passion with which you live it truly astonishes me. You have a way of being cynical, yet intensely sensitive/caring (for example the "no kids" blog) that has forced me to re-evaluate my own cynical not-so-sensitive outlook. thank you. --- wonder bunny

- today i found something great! thnx amy "I admire Amy King's poetry tremendously for the way it manipulates apparently plain language into thoughtful audacities. But her work is never in love with its own spiky cleverness. Quite the opposite: it is marked, even at its most pointed or witty, by an austere refusal to giggle at its own surprises." ~michael steinman

- There are lots of people on SU who have pretty pictures and poems and personal stories. But then there are the people who have these things, and do it right, and user "amyhappens" is one of the best. Her taste in poetry is very good - it has to be, she's a poet - and one has to be very careful reading her "blog," as each entry can be read over and over and enjoyed again and again, the mark of good writing anywhere, even on the Internet (which seems to say, through blogging, that the words of the past don't count as much as the words we will create, that some words are disposable).
