Epic Fun,
By Ruth MacDougall (Center Sandwich, NH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hermaphroditus in America (Paperback)
Julia Older's epic poem is a tale of duality that ranges from exuberance to rage, with a rousing story, vivid images, and exciting rhythms. It is also very funny, even giving us a parody of a poetry review as well as wry and witty observations and laugh-out-loud punch lines:Hermione: The lilac grants the inch worm/asylum in its leaves./The thorny rose invites the peaceful/pollinating bees./Were we wiser than we are/we would live as these. 1st Attendant: Don't listen! She's just another blathering poet. Julia Older is a writer of many talents. In addition to her poetry, I much enjoyed her novel based on the life of poet Celia Thaxter, THE ISLAND QUEEN. |
