The linked prose poems, Housekeeping, in the first half of the book were the most memorable part of Spectra in my reading. Although I waited too long before following up, I remember being impressed at the way Toliver renders scenes and emotional experiences with interesting and unique images. no reviews | add a review

Fiction.
Poetry.
HTML:Precise, taut, minimalist poems are Toliver's Yellow Wallpaper, using the thud and drone of language to evoke the suffocation of a marriage gone sour, sound bouncing back, and creating patterns that are an inhibiting force in themselves. There's a pulse to her work, one that harnesses the energy on the page to transcend binaries and boundaries of the self. No library descriptions found. |
