BOOK REVIEW: With Some Wild Women by Jill Gardiner
These poems demand understanding and it’s this subtle sotto voice undertone to these poems which is the real triumph, alone they delight, together they enchant and whisper of the absolute triumph of imagination. The books left me breathless. Read it.
Salah is furious and gentle, shocking and so,so tender it moved me, and I felt I didn’t understand some of her work. Always a powerful tool of the poet, to draw you back to their lathe of meaning and whittle some more of your mind away with their sharp edged observations.
