Review:

March, 2009

Tuesday, March 24, 2009 -- Scrofula by Matt Dennison

Scrofula, a collection of twenty poems by Matt Dennison, is strongest in the poems detailing ordinary life. ... I recommend this small but sturdy compilation to all lovers of poetry.

Tuesday, March 3, 2009 -- The Second Elizabeth by Karen Lillis

On the whole, I'm not sure I can even call this a story; it is probably best described as a novella-length prose poem. There are many threads of narrative, but the author seems to be more interested in following each thread where it leads her than in bringing them together to make a coherent piece of work. Taking it as poetry gives a different perspective.
