5.0 out of 5 stars
A Female Southern Poet of note, August 5, 2004
This review is from: Women in Cars: Poems (Paperback)
Martha McFerren's poetry, while on the prosy side, is narrative genius. Her incisive and, at times, biting insights into human nature, Southern existence, life as a woman, and a writer's plight are thought-provoking and hilarious by turns. I laughed aloud during "Southern Gothic" and "Weird Doctors", and "Dog Suicide" is a mantra for all struggling non-sentimentalists. Every poem in this book, in fact, is a gem. McFerren's work is worthy of much wider circulation.

5.0 out of 5 stars
fast pace, engaging, brilliant use of language, January 31, 1999

This review is from: Women in Cars: Poems (Paperback)
Martha McFerren is simply one of the best poets I know. Her poetry deals with themes of popular culture and the wacky juxtapositions contemporary life serves up as daily fare. A fascinating, multi-layered, often hilarious excursion down the great metaphorical U.S. highway...ride on.
