Liberties

by Andrea Brady

Poetry. Densely worded, long-lined poems make up this provocative book which is divided into two parts called "the White Wish" and "the City Adorned like a Bride." A violent noir sense of sexuality exists here in both the rich, textured language and in the subject matter. "The shape of her complaint empty as a factory, this actress begs/ for her indemnity the irresolute gentle audience, flaunting her past/ over the blent lights of her town in smeary dissarray." One of Potes & Poets new chapbook series, LIBERTIES is a substantial, well-produced short book. Saddlestaped chapbook.
