Gerber's poetry is marked by a rejection of the restrictive forms, which force meter and rhyme.
They are witty and playful, beautifully formed and often more serious than they seem.
She has been called ‘A poet of great warmth and humor whose poems are a joy to read, bitter sweet and always insightful’
Elaine Paigel

"Hannah Gerber is a very fine poet. Her work is funny, engaging.
She captures something that is typically American. She celebrates everyday occurrences."
Rosemary Cross, June 2006


Reviews of Perfection Of Small Birds:

'Ms. Gerber is one of the few poets writing today who aren't drowning themselves in angst or blood-letting or heavy handed imagery.
This poet has been writing in an accessible, amazingly coherant format for years; her work has appeared in
literary journals, anthologies and collections of her own works.
'Poetry for real people, and for people who don't like poetry' her goal of writing 'honestly and mindfully' (as she puts it in 'Mind and Moment, The Poetics Within Us, a guide to writing, published by Lulu Press and Finest Line)
is one she has reached again and again, and especially with this newest collection
which focuses on the everyday, nature and parenting.'
Nancy Houghan, Oregonian Live

‘Beautiful little poems, full of detail, expressed in captivating ways.’
John Dahl, Poetry Bridge Seattle

‘These delightfully descriptive poems take us closer to our natures and the nature that lies beyond our windows, that eternal element of life.’
Stewart Findlay, Kilmarnock Poets Press
