Beck Snyder, a Yellow Arrow intern for 2022-2023, recently read and wrote a review of Beast at Every Threshold by Natalie Wee. Beast at Every Threshold is best described as a careful balancing act between hope and despair as the author wades through both her past and present while considering her potential future. Within her poems, she openly acknowledges and explores the tragedies of life and loss, such as her grandmother’s Alzheimer’s and abuse she herself has suffered.

What is Another Word for Intimacy

By Amanda Baker
Yellow Arrow Publishing, 2022
72 Pages
ISBN-13: 979-8985070439

Review by Jacqueline Stearns

This book is not just another poetry collection dedicated to romance. Every facet from the rhyme scheme to how the poems are placed on the page, catches the reader's eye and draws them in.

As a poet myself, I love Amanda Baker's rhyme patterns which in some pieces are simplistic.

The Fruit Gum Variety Pack: "Like a piece of gum stuck on the bottom of my shoe. Now everywhere I go I have a little bit of your residue.'

In Imagination and Creation, which details a person who is talking to a lover about understanding her thoughts and emotions, we have: " I let go of power to be your equal. Transparent feelings make us people."

Page arrangement kept my attention on the writing. Some poems are one paragraph straight down lines underneath one another.

Other pieces are several paragraphs written in the same style single spaced.

The dedication is written on a diagonal, beginning with the first line on the top left, and the last word on the bottom right.

Other writings have words separated by lines. /

Simplicity is what makes this collection so original. Baker utilities everyday objects to depict relationships.

In the afore mentioned The Fruit Gum Variety Pack, gum alludes to the author's connection to someone important in her life. Upon careful examination, Baker realizes this person may not matter as much as she thought.

Green uses an old green dress as a metaphor for a woman's past and present.

Leave Me In Your Pocket, is a brilliant poem. An imaginary pocket is the catalyst describing the ever changing dynamic of romantic love.

"I never put anything in my pockets. I don't invite anyone in because I don't want to turn mine inside out."
"Okay maybe I invite you in my pocket."

Spare terse language give some of the poems individual flavor. In My Love Language: "I would love you in all ways because I wouldn't have to write poems about you."

In Take Me To The Mountain spins the tale of Baker's flip flopping about what she wants in a relationship. The narrative takes the form of: ,"Take Me To The Mountains, no don't take me to the mountains."
The words are simple. I shout, "Take Me To The Mountains but don't fall in love with the idea.'

Music Is Everything is a dynamic piece where Baker utilizes music as an analogy for a romantic entanglement. Again simple language. "You are an arrangement, a four chord song. Melody and lyrics. I hear you."

What Is Another Word For Intimacy, is a book teenagers and adults of all ages can identify with. Who among us hasn't been profoundly affected by romantic love?

===ABOUT THE REVIEWER: Jacqueline Stearns holds a bachelor's degree in Mass Media Communications from William Paterson College now University. She is honored to have been published in Highland Park Poetry and several Montclair Write Group Anthologies.

Fantastic poetry readings on struggle and solidarity at Takoma Park Community Center alongside gifted poets Tara Campbell, David Ebenbach, and Margaret Flaherty. Shout-out to Yellow Arrow Publishing, as I read work from our chapbook, "Baltimore, I (want to) Love You." Special thanks to Takoma's poet laureate, Taylor Johnson.

Thank you, Yellow Arrow Publishing!

I’m honored each and every time people listen to me read my tiny and true stories about the lovelies. It meant a lot to be able to share one of my more recent vignettes, “Reminder,” with members of the Yellow Arrow Publishing community tonight.

And, wow, did the other writers’ pieces move me. Art is such a salve.

Four poets--once total strangers, now colleagues--came together to craft an achingly authentic kaleidoscope of reflections that capture Baltimore, in this moment. Thanks for the opportunity, Yellow Arrow Publishing. And special thanks to my fellow writers-in-residence, Catrice Greer Arao Ameny Matilda Young.

Fellow women-identifying writers! Check out Yellow Arrow Publishing. Please.

I love that my beloved Yellow Arrow Publishing just published my latest vignette. 💛 If you like it, please share it; that goes a long way in supporting me AND this awesome woman-led non-profit.

You can read it here:

Thank you, Yellow Arrow Publishing.

Earlier in July, my poem 'Epiphany' was published in the Yellow Arrow journal's vignette section themed 'Awaken.' I urge all women, especially those past their prime to read it. Thank you Yellow Arrow Publishing

And, soon, you’ll get to read a new vignette: my first piece published by them. 💛

I bought a rowhome in Highlandtown to have art within arms reach. It’s such an honor to be recognized as a creator of art, right here in this neighborhood I revere.

Thank you, Highlandtown Arts District, for this feature! And thank you, always always always, to Yellow Arrow Publishing for selecting me to be your first Highlandtown Writer-in-Residence in 2019.
