5.0 out of 5 stars
Engaging poems based in mythology and folk tales,
By
This review is from: The Doors of the Body (Paperback)
[Full disclosure: Although we've never met, I know Agner slightly online from poetry communities we both belong to, and we will be doing a reading together in Nashville in March, where she will be promoting her new book The Scientific Method.]This is an engaging book of poems which retell mythological stories and folk tales from the point of view of various female characters within the stories. I think any fan of these sorts of retellings will enjoy this book, even if they don't normally read much poetry. Agner is an accomplished poet, but in a very accessible vein. Mayapple Press has posted a sample (a wonderfully bittersweet retelling of the folk ballad "Oh My Darling, Clementine") on their site at http://www.mayapplepress.com/BookPages/Agner.htm, which will give some sense of Agner's lovely way with language. |
