Why people recommend it

Scattered at Sea by Amy Gerstler is a vibrant and imaginative poetry collection that blends humor, melancholy, and keen observations of human nature. During an episode of The Book Review podcast titled Inside The New York Times Book Review: ‘Skyfaring’, published on July 18, 2024, Greg Coles recommended the publication to the audience. Coles informed listeners that the poetry book was a new release brought out by Penguin in the month of May. Re-emphasizing the recommendation later in the same podcast segment, Coles again noted that Penguin had published the collection earlier that spring. The podcast hosts and reviewers frequently highlight poetry works to provide listeners with a diverse array of literary options, and this particular mention underscored the strong critical reception of Gerstler's latest poetic endeavors. The recurring focus on the collection during the episode demonstrated the podcast's commitment to showcasing notable contemporary poets and making contemporary verse accessible and appealing to a broad readership of book enthusiasts.
