booklistqueen 's review for:
the mermaid's voice returns in this one
by Amanda Lovelace
Showing the power of poetry ...
I rarely read poetry, so I struggled at first with the eccentric format of this collection. Nevertheless, I came to love her unconventional method. Considering how few words she actually uses, I’m amazed at the depth of feeling Lovelace is able to convey about the highs and lows, doubts and fears of sexual assault. I hope her collection does indeed help other women find their voices.
