First and Last Words
Friebert's stories glide between first and last person, as memoir in 1949, a student in Germany. To ancestors: Eddie and spunky fiance Gertie.

Floating Heart
"How direct and fierce Stuart Friebert's poems are. His collection Floating Heart draws from the reservoir of memory re-lived and re-suffered.
