Winner of the 2004 Autumn House Poetry Prize selected by Alicia Ostriker. Schwartz's Dear Good Naked Morning explores what it is to be a woman in love with the world.

A story of changing times of a guy who changed the lives of four women in ways they had never dreamed. From adolescence through war and peace, Angelo McMurphy De'Angelo, Gello to his friends, used his endless God-given talents, street-smarts, good looks, and insatiable appetite for life and success in ways that men envied and admired and women lusted after. Then came the 1940s. Pearl Harbor was bombed, and America was at war. From boot camp to Europe, the army life was not so bad for Gello. His dogged pursuit of the American dream, as it once was, led him on a journey of passion, sex, adventure, moments in time not to be seen again. Journey with Gello as he takes the bold and fearless risks, making choices that take him closer to realizing his vision of his tomorrows.
