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.

About the Author:

She lives in Los Angeles.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 10 Up–Tamblyn is an emerging writer with passion and commitment. Free Stallion is a compilation of poetry that amounts to a portrait of the artist as a teenager, from the very early years through post adolescence. Many of the selections are appropriately self-absorbed but move beyond journalistic catharsis to real insight and stunning language for one so young. In Dig, Tamblyn wants to distance herself with language that examines and classifies: Hollywood's got a face./Trophy wives with stitched-up sideburns/look like 3rd degree burn victims. Gutsy, she speaks frankly of sexuality. In Vibration she explores the limits of enjambment: Drop your weapons–/pick up my hip attachment./Screw it,/on./I'm suing for a-sexual harassment. In Moths she writes with the same desire to push language a little further off-kilter: ...I am a derelict without furniture or life signs,/painting your posture from distance that/can fit inside the palm of your land. And she has economical humor: I want to sneak out/in the night,/do stupid things with nature/in the dark,/regret them/in the light. Public libraries will want this book for the permission the writing gives to use language in the expression of strong emotion, and as a unique record of one artist's early promise of crafting an art for life or vice versa.–Teresa Pfeifer, Alfred Zanetti Montessori Magnet School, Springfield, MA
