5.0 out of 5 stars
Review excerpt from Poets' Quarterly,
By Tasha Cotter "Tasha Cotter" (Colorado Springs, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Live on Bread and Music (Paperback)
Jennifer K. Sweeney's second collection of poetry How to Live on Bread and Music consists of five sections, two of them being multi-page poems, which are somewhat unusual as longer poems are notoriously more difficult to maintain, but Sweeney manages to avoid the common pitfalls of longer works with ease. Both of her longer poems radiate with fresh imagery, clever word choice, and an uncommon strength of metaphor. Clearly Sweeney is one of the brightest stars in emerging poetry. Her multi-page poem, "The Listeners" recounts the poet's childhood with her father and music. Song lyrics are embedded seamlessly into the stanzas and each moment feels very carefully wrought. Sweeney moves from the abstract to more narrative moments...(Full review can be found at [...])-Tasha Cotter, Poets' Quarterly January 2010 edition |
