Salters vivid descriptions will transport the reader...,
This review is from: Open Shutters: Poems (Hardcover)
Mary Jo Salter, the writer of Open Shutters (2003) uses imagery and observation to transport the reader from the seat they are reading in, into the setting of the poem. Through the "open shutters" Salter lets the reader see into the action of what is going on. In poems such as "The Accordionist", Salter lets the reader look through the movie camera to see the boy's transformation from a child to a man as he plays his songs to the passengers. As well, in the poem "School Pictures" you see the transformation of a family through a camera lens. Salter also speaks about current tragedies such as plane crashes, bombings, and the tragic September 11th as well as addressing families and people individually changing and transforming. By going back and forth between light and dark, Salter allows there to be tension and emotion in the reader. Through her vivid descriptions of the settings, light imaging, and artistry, Salter leaves the reader wondering and thinking that maybe the impossible really is possible.
