Valerie
Thomas introduces poetry readers to her unique cadence and rhythm
within the first few pages of her stirring collection, set within
family situations and reflecting the challenges that intimate
relationships bring.
The flashes of imagery that are layered
on top of daily and familial life will please most fans of poetry, as
Thomas puts life’s normal moments into birth. You’re sure to share the
narrator’s sentiments about secret lives, damaging actions, and
inflated egos, especially if you’ve experienced similar intrigues in
your own life.
Be sure to visit "Children, Children" for a
look into the wealth of emotions that mothering brings, while "Ego" is
likely to leave readers angry and hurt on behalf of the author. A true
collection of favorites!
