Amazon.com Review
"A month ago/ in biology lab/ you sat close to me/ knee touching mine/ your sweet smell/ almost drowning out/ the formaldehyde stink...." Sound familiar? Ralph Fletcher's poems perfectly capture the intensity of teenage love--the thrills, the heartbreak, and the healing--taking place in everyday locales like the classroom, an aunt's house, the prom, and the beach. Room Enough for Love is a compilation of the complete poems from Fletcher's critically acclaimed volumes I Am Wings and Buried Alive. Exploring the many facets of falling in love, falling out of love, and love itself, Fletcher reveals a keen understanding of the peaks and valleys of romance and attachment. It is his use of language that is perhaps most remarkable, precisely because it is so understated and vernacular ("This is not a love poem no way/ you need big words for that/ like 'luminous' and 'eternity' "). With his understanding that small words do not translate to small emotions, Fletcher offers teens a book of poetry that speaks directly to them. (Ages 12-15) --Brangien Davis

Truely Understanding "Us" December 13, 1999
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am a teenager and I know what its like to feel like you can't breathe when your not with someone. The teen years are some of the hardest in my opinion and this book puts everything we feel into words that we normally cannot express. Being a teen is hard but its even tougher when your a teen who is in love. This book made it easier on me and others as well I suspect! So, to the author, thank you for putting our thoughts into a book!
Wonderful poetry! Easy to relate to and understand. July 22, 1999

These poems are simpily and honestly about teenagers in and out of love. There isn't volumes of hidden meaning or deep messages, the words speak for themselves and easily touch you. If you have ever had a crush or been in love, reading Mr. Fletcher's poems will seems like reading the emotions of your heart. I highly recomend this book!
