5.0 out of 5 stars
Accessible, disciplined, imaginative, & entertaining,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Snakeskin Stilettos (Paperback)
Snakeskin Stilettos is the debut and introduction to an American readership of Irish poet Moyra Donaldson's abilities to craft verse that is simultaneously accessible, disciplined, imaginative, entertaining, and memorable. Lust: Bearded old satyr,/the wind from the hills/is thick with your scent,/musty yet fresh,/a confusion of seasons.//Comfortable in the house of Pentheus,/with its fitted concepts,/its rational doors, leading always/from one place to the next,/she forgot you--became only human.//Then you rear again at her window,/swirled in your own myth./Lines from an ancient script/calling her out into the hills,/where coiled snakes will lick her face/in the back seat of a parked car.
