Summary: interesting import
Comment: I loved Carol Ann Duffy's work in New Poetry out of Bloodaxe. How phenomenal! I tried out these poems, and felt sad that the style seemed created for one volume. I feel at a disadvantage, mired in American contemporary poetry, unable to appreciate English plays on words or kinds of humor, so take this with a grain of salt. More formal, more narrative oriented, these poems sounded to my ear like satiric nursery rhymes which lead the reader through. I felt I was staring at the essentials. Glyn Maxwell attempts a similar tone of humorist absurdity but somehow crams each line with depth and less mugging.

Summary: hilariously funny
Comment: This book of poems was given to me by a friend and now lives on my desk at all times. Each poem is an absolute gem, sparkling with humour. I loved every one of them. They are all so different in tone, from the outrageously funny 'Mrs Icarus' to the achingly poignant 'Queen Herod'. As a woman who lives and works in an all-male environment, i would whole-heartedly say, this is an absolute must-buy.

Summary: Read this! Give it to your friends!
Comment: These poems are so good, witty, smart, it might even turn me on to reading poetry again. But where can I find poems as intelligent and deep and amusing as these? I keep re-reading them for the joy of it. I had never heard of Ms. Duffy, but my sister sent me the book from England. I need more!
