English Earthquake

by Eva Salzman

Eva Salzman is a thoroughly modern, urban poet who writes with equal wit and precision about the natural – and unnatural world. In her sceptical, restless poems, irreverent muses and relentless twins take on sharply contemporary subjects: society, the unreliability of memory and – especially – identity, gender and love, sexual or otherwise. Born in New York, Eva Salzman moved to Britain in 1985. The English Earthquake was her debut collection, and a Poetry Book Society Recommendation.

[Geoff Herschell · Rating 3 out of 5]

As with many poetry books, there were good, interesting and bad poems. My opinion often changed if I went back and re-read the poems.
Worth a read though if you like poetry Eva does put an American insight into English situations.
