Reviews:

Perfect Diet serves up the essence of lives. Pulier's knife-sharp insights are ripe with fresh language, a dash of humor sprinkled liberally with intelligence, garnished with keen observation, rendered with accessibility, and warmed withlots of love, delivering a poetry feast.

In Perfect Diet, Anita S. Pulier's aptly-named collection of poems about life in the big city, Manhattan to be specific, the author tells how you descend, you bear up / carry on with grit, nostalgia and wry humor. From her mother's recipe for potato pancakes, joyously random in method and result, Pulier has kept the joy, but her carefully-observed poems, anything but random, wrest serenity out of a steady dose of disaster, and out of the slim rations of an incomplete world, an acceptance for whatever we have ordered.

Florence Weinberger, author of Breathing Like a Jew, The Invisible Telling Its Shape: Poems, Carnal Fragrance, Sacred Graffiti, Ghost Tattoo and These Days of Simple Mooring.
