How come nobody thought about it before?,
This review is from: The Love of Clothes and Nakedness (Paperback)
"Fashionis a way of loving the body or hating its parts." From this short poem we can see that we are rather in female territory, the looker in me wants to know what do women have to do with clothes. It's all here, the love of clothes and the love of nakedeness, clothes that remember, clothes wishing to forget, clothes looking forward and looking east. This is the journey around a woman's clothes in 80 pages. Women will identify with many of the poems here, men may be able to understand better their ladies. Karen Alkalay-Gut is the best English writing poet in Israel today, and also one of the best Israeli poets in any language. Zionism and the imposing of the Hebrew language has left her in a marginal place, unjustly. Alkalay is Israeli to the core, in spite of writing in English. A real poet to discover and cherish. Go for it.
