Poems worth reading more than once,
By Anna "ck" (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Capture the Flag (Paperback)
Susan Donnelly's book, Capture the Flag, captured me from Nag's Head, NC, to Knoxville, TN, on a recent return home from vacation. A mark of a truly good poem is that it urges the reader to read it again and again. The reasons may be varied: layers of meaning, a jarring revelation, or simply the incredible beauty of language and sound. Regardless, all point to some kind of transferable truth - a truth we can each understand and own. Donnelly moves her reader through many stages and settings, all the while creating that feeling of shared truth and commonality. She creates highly memorable lines within excellent verse: "Somehwere there's a woman who could take charge of all this, roll up her sleeves and triage. You don't love that woman." I highly recommend this book of poetry - yet another excellent publication by Iris Press.

a masterful book,
This review is from: Capture the Flag (Paperback)
Personal but never cheaply confessional, able to move from Cambridge to Donegal to Falujah withough losing focus, this poems are superbly crafted and a delight to read.

Necessary and satisfying,
By Bob Brooks (Concord, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Capture the Flag (Paperback)
There's such a torrent of indifferent verse rushing at the reader these days that it's easy to feel overwhelmed, to feel the difficulty of spotting the good stuff amongst all the flotsam, to wonder sometimes if there's really any good stuff to spot. There is. The poems in Susan Donnelly's "Capture the Flag" are clear, strong, pointed, necessary, satisfying. They make a person want to read poetry again, not run away and hide from it. They make a person want to write poetry to converse with these poems, with this poet. "Capture the Flag" is most highly recommended.
