The Muses' Company is proud to expose to the light the work of five exciting young poetic talents. Alison Calder unveils the ordinary day to reveal its lyrical beauty; Sharanpal Ruprai offers a rare and honest glimpse of family love; Melanie Unrau peels back the surface of our culture to uncover the uneasy tensions below; Kerry Ryan discloses the fear and courage in the hearts of young lovers; and Chandra Mayor strips language to the bone with her startling X-ray vision. Fresh, edgy, moving, provocative, and brand spanking new, the work in Exposed lays bare the creative power of a new generation of women poets.
A coworker offered to lend this book to me, and of course, I couldn't refuse a poetry anthology! Especially one comprised of Canadian authors. The subject matter of the poems were a little too dark and emotional for my taste. However, there were decent poems in there, as well as striking and lovely lines peppered throughout that made the entire read worthwhile.
