Reb Livingston

Reb Livingston’s Your Ten Favorite Words is a collection of poems that examines the battle between the sexes in a new way, creating caricatures of men and women. Livingston has a way with imagery, alliteration, and riddles. A number of poems roll into a rhythm, twist the tongue, and require readers to assess each line carefully.

The collection is broken down into three parts: Our Rascal Asses; Unsweet and Looking for a Fix; Burgers and Pitchforks. Readers are introduced to three caricatures Smitten Girl, The Man With the Pretty Chin, and The Heart Specter. And each section begins with a mini-conversation or set of statements between the characters. These set up each section, allowing them to unfold.
