"we both have blood red poppies in our veins",
By AlleyCat (Vancouver, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ghosts of Anne & Sylvia (Paperback)
The Ghosts of Anne and Sylvia deftly fills your senses with ardent prose. Wickedly stylish poetry woven between two authors and two historic women. It takes you on a journey of discovery thats fresh and richly honest. It was an absolutely superb read, and I look forward to much more from these authors!

"I am drowning, now, in you...",
By
This review is from: The Ghosts of Anne & Sylvia (Paperback)
Disclaimer: I am not a poetry lover, having been exposed to the Dead Poets canon in college, but after reading the poems in this collection I have become a huge fan of this remarkable work and the two women who created it. They do not mimic Sexton and Plath, instead they evoke the very specific artistic temperaments and the full emotional palettes that these women brought to their work and their lives. The inspired conceit of contemporary poets channeling the voices of past ones in an intertwining dialogue results in a singular achievement that illuminates (and reflects) both Sexton and Plath, and the authors as well.

Hauntingly beautiful poems,
This review is from: The Ghosts of Anne & Sylvia (Paperback)
The selected poems in the Ghosts of Anne & Sylvia are hauntingly beautiful. The poetry is fresh, bold and brutally honest. Images continue to linger in my mind. These poems resonated deeply for me. I would suggest this book to any serious lover of poetry.
