A NEW review of an older poetry chapbook of mine - Soft Foam

"The opening lines are wonderful, the poet is inside a suitcase with a broken zipper, it deals with the poet's fear about being muted. A few poems later and more of the poet's fears are shown as she describes being precariously seated over a tank with a giant squid in it."
from a new review by Jason Denness of an older poetry chapbook by me, "Soft Foam" (Blood Pudding Press for Dusie Kollektiv 4, 2010)
