What Sparks Poetry:
Dana Levin on Wanda Coleman's "The Woman and Her Thang"
"Standing at the magazine rack at Beyond Baroque, I opened Coleman’s chapbook at random and read: 'She kept it in a black green felt-lined box.' Ten monosyllabs—how I loved saying them, each one a kind of floating stone in the mouth—introducing the speaker’s 'thang': seductive and dangerous, wreaking havoc on her love life." |

Andrew Motion Edits The Folio Book Of War Poetry
"Sassoon is one of the best two or three known poets of the First World War....the most successful poems that he writes are very often these shortish, squiblike-seeming poems which are savagely satirical, very often, of the people who are in charge of the war at the same time as they are very tenderly remembering or shielding those who are actually fighting in it."
