The Miniature Room

by Rebecca Dunham

With tender probing and tight, expressive language, "The Miniature Room" explores the grace and power of the minuscule as it exists within an infinite universe. This 2006 T. S. Eliot Prize-winning collection utilises rich imagery and complex interlocking meanings as author Rebecca Durham builds off the classical themes of art, history, nature, love, life, religion, and motherhood to provide a sensual and inquisitive body of work.

I have made a policy of not star-stamping books by friends. But if you admire the artful poem, the poem as character study by way of portrait, you will be rewarded by this book. "Putting Him to Bed" is a favorite sequence of mine.

I was lucky enough, as interim editor, to nab several of Rebecca's poems for publication in West Branch. I can hardly wait for her next book.
