Poetry that cuts to the bone,
By Venetia Moon (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Other Life (Paperback)
This book works magic: there are moments, feelings, truths in life that we cannot speak of with words..because they fail to convey the depth, the heart of the matter...yet these poems move into the realm of the unspeakable and speak eloquently. In an age when we rush about with few of us reading poetry, we need more than ever what this book provides: poems for everyone. They are poems that speak about love, loss, belonging, yearning: the untrivial things that fill your mind between the drive from home to the supermarket, while waiting at a bus depot, or shampooing in the shower...the thoughts that form the true you. And though these poems are her easily readable verse, they strangely seem as though they could be your own because they say such vital, significant truths..cutting deep into your heart, the pit of your belly, the very bone of you...saying what you felt and understood (or came close to comprehending) but could never vocalize as she has. This is a book you will want to share, to give to those that you love because it is pure, timeless, and needed.
