The Powder Tower

She is a sharp-eyed chronicler of the tensions and nuances of family life, with a fine sense of what to leave out of a poem... As in Doty or O'Donoghue, this results in poems that give priority to the communication of experience, and the reader is enlightened by sharing it.

Mesmerizing and sharply imagistic, each poem travels a long distance in a short space... These urgent, finely-wrought poems leave a sense of life's impossible juxtapositions like the bluebell wood / he saw from a motorway. They invite the reader to continue their dreamwork.
