About this ebook
Although Amber Tamblyn is best known as the star of the smash hit Joan of Arcadia, she is a serious poet, mentored by Jack Hirshman, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and other San Francisco Beat poets. She has self-published two chapbooks, and her poems have appeared in books published by City Lights. Here is her first collection of poems specifically for teens. The poems relate to teen issues such as love and relationships, and all are influenced by Amber's feminist sensibility. An introduction by Jack Hirshman puts her poetry in a literary context, and her personal introduction gives insight into her poems and helps readers access them. Amber's celebrity will help bring the value of poetry to a new, wider audience.

The poems in this book are abstract and colorful, poems that make you think, poems that surprise you. That's what I love about this book. I liked Amber Tamblyn as an actress, and now I totally love her as a writer. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

I love Amber Tamblyn. I first became a fan of hers from the show Joan of Arcadia, and then she went on to do movies such as Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Amber is an amazing actress so I knew I had to get this book of poems she wrote. She did not disappoint!
I never used to like poems because I never could understand what they author was trying to say. But as I got older I realized maybe thats a good thing. This way you can have your own interpretation. Amber is such a great writer. Her style of writing poems is nothing like I have seen before. While some you may read and not know why she wrote it, but you can walk away think how you interpreted it. If you love poems, get this book. If you didn't, like me before, still get this. You will see a different side of Amber.
