A flat-spined chapbook of free-verse lyrics describing the flawed, impure world of today,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Savage Machinery (Paperback)
Panama-born creative writer and poet Karen Rigby presents Savage Machinery, a flat-spined chapbook of free-verse lyrics describing the flawed, impure world of today. A vividly emotional portrayal of the darkness and emptiness that mar the beauty of life and natural wonder, Savage Machinery is an unforgettable collection that deserves to be pondered at length. "Bread": Pitas swell, parachutes / in their ovens. On holidays, wreaths / braided with raisins. / I like a simple loaf best. / No olives greasy as pennies, / just dry crust flaking / in my hands, torn magnolias / clean and odorous / as bodies after love. / Salt spills like constellations / on my tongue. The first time a man / fed me bread, the pockets of air / were shutters opening.
