Deeper into the BluePoems by Carrie Sonneborn"Lucid, brief, direct of speech, the poems are a combination of warmth and wit, celebration and well-tempered satire. She has a sharp eye for our capacity to delude ourselves in relationships. She is keenly aware of the gulf that separates our boxed-in urban existence from the real, but increasingly fragile, world outside. Most importantly, unlike many of us (who seem secretly to feel apologetic for it), Carrie Sonneborn enjoys being a woman; the reality of Woman, not the media image. Her warm and witty celebrations of this in various guises are, to me, the finest of the many fine poems in this book; poems to return to with appreciative laughter again and again. This is a collection of poems to be acquired and treasured by all lovers of poetry." Anne Edgeworth Format: A5, viii + 40pp. ISBN 0 646 33856 0. Price: $11.95 (Australian dollars) |
