In her collection Snowman s Code, Midge Goldberg evokes the American northeast and connects those landscapes and senses to the human heart. With titles like "On Learning the Harvest Moon is an Optical Illusion," Goldberg walks on a tightrope, both disappointed at the very real facts she knows, and entranced by the possibility of what could be. The snow and ice in these poems are both treacherous and awe-inspiring; the characters are all multidimensional. As Dick Davis says, "what is most impressive is the poems' exacting, accurate realism, not least in those poems in which she shows us how elusively ungraspable the realities of our lives must often remain"
Though her voice shines through, Goldberg never loses sight of the fact that all stories depend on both the storyteller and the audience in fact, in "Telling," she weaves a narrative that explores the way stories and people change in our memories. "You can t remove the teller from the tale. / Each time it was retold, the story grew. / What really happened no one ever knew," she concedes, revealing the longing not only to be understood, but much more interesting, to understand the people and the world around her. With both wordplay and wit, Goldberg creates poems that are fun to read and echo in the reader's head long after the initial impact.

Snowman Code Midge Goldberg 9780930982751 Books Reviews
Midge Goldberg eloquently shares not only the snowman’s code (“A sunny day / is a mixed blessing”), but also the allure of men in hats and the secret language of love (it has to do with coffee). With incisive wit, she explains what Cary Grant’s life would be like in New Hampshire and why the harpsichord was doomed. In sonnets, villanelles, rhymed couplets, and free verse, Goldberg offers fresh insights and irresistible stories, well worth a reader’s repeated attention.
Beautifully written. A joy to read.
Midge Goldberg's book bears the Richard Wilbur Book Award. And it deserves it. Goldberg has an unpretentious voice that speaks with humor and simple wisdom. The lovely cover art, for once, suggests the loveliness within.
