Snatch is a hilarious and creepy collection of poems that may not even be poetry at all. Like a comic novel from an alternate universe, or a fragmented hoax of an autobiography, Snatch picks at the vacuous horror of suburbia and exposes a world of small beauty and perfect moments amid TV-induced nostalgia and impending violence. In her mysterious and funny debut, everybody’s favourite Surrey grrrl, Judy MacInnes Jr. makes the complex seem simple, the simple complex, and she has an unearthly talent for making the reader laugh out loud while doing it.

Snatch-tastic,
By nickunt (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Snatch (Paperback)
As if the title wasn't enough, the close up cover photo of a gaping clam leaves nothing to the imagination as MacInnes leads us on a voyage of discovery through this wonderful collection of short poems. From the opening stanza of "Red Flag's a-flying" to the haunting final verse of "On The Blob", "Snatch" knocks "The Vagina Monologues" into the proverbial Wizard's Sleeve.
