I GOT FOR A DOLLAR  \nPOEMS BY BERT STERN  \nPraise for What I Got for a Dollar  \n\"On every page of this book,Bert Stern sounds the tragic-comic note ofa master.And from this double plane of regard,his poems are as aglitterwith gaiety as they are alive to the tears of things.”  \n-George Kalogeris,author of Dialogos:Paired Poems in Translation  \n\"Bert Stern's poems are rare vessels of encounter,necessity,and vacancy,splendid visions of a blessed world where life is both given and takenaway.Stern finds life and immediacy in birds and leaves,mountains,rivers and mist,and he makes himself available to these objects to thedegree where he can say,I am so naked that I have no skin.These are thepoems of an aged man who is widely engaged in his world and all itimparts.\"  \n-Richard
