This review is from: Drought: & Say What You Like (Paperback)
Half prose, and half poetry, this story is hard to categorize as far as form. But it grabs you, as does the style and voice. It grips you and won't let you turn away. After finishing this story, and it is a short read, I started right back in on it, to see if what had just happened, actually happened.

This review is from: Drought: & Say What You Like (Paperback)
The review title is borrowed from the blurb on the back of the paperback. It is as good a description of this unique writing style as you will get. The list of poems making up Drought is a bit misleading - in general the segments are prose poems ... or prose. However, there is a narrative line - a very powerful tale of the death of a relationship within the stress of drought.The second piece "Say what you like" is less memorable than "Drought". In this case the relationship includes abuse - and when the relationship disolves the identity of the individuals is rendered uncertain in the best postmodern style. A new poet/author's whose work is well worth watching. |
