May 11, May 10th Book Giveaway: Untitled Child by Nancy Jo Cullen

FEATURED THIS WEEK: Untitled Childy by Nancy Jo Cullen

Nancy Jo Cullen is a favourite poet of mine. I've read her work for over 20 years. She published this collection of poems after her life partner died. In it, she tackles addiction, mental illness, and loss.

Her work is honest and a bit gritty, often humorous and always thought provoking.

"Reading Cullen’s poems is a little like drinking booze. Definitely not wine, because it’s not all that genteel, and not beer, because it’s not all that commonplace, but hard liquor because it’s edgy, fast-acting, more than a little disorienting and frequently mixed with something sweet…Cullen understands how we are entertained by our emotions, and this poetry is trained like a laser scope on our limbic systems." – Globe & Mail
