5.0 out of 5 stars
Lucky Dog,
By Kasey Jueds (Jersey City, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reading Berryman to the Dog (Paperback)
I loved this book! Wendy Taylor Carlisle's poems are beautiful, true and deeply moving. Every word seems well-chosen, and nothing's extra. I love the sense the poems give of a real person behind the words--a smart, funny, heartful woman looking unblinkingly at herself and the world, and bravely telling what she sees. I love that the poems aren't afraid to speak in their own voice or to talk about things that matter. I admire Wendy Carlisle's use of form, which is so masterful it seems effortless. I'd recommend this book to both poetry lovers and people who've never read poetry before--the poems here are so inviting, and worth reading and re-reading.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Sassy, Wry, Compassionate,
By Jo McDougall (Little Rock, Arkansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reading Berryman to the Dog (Paperback)
Reading Berryman to the Dog is a fine first book by an accomplished writer. You'll go back and back to these startling, satisfying poems. Carlisle's is one of the truly original voices in contemporary poetry. The poems are sensuous, muscular, textured. You won't soon forget "The Redhead Conjures Him Up" or "Questions for Joe": "In March you were there,.../wearing a broad expanse of belly, by June/you were gone...." If you're tired of tired poems, this book will revive you.
