Reviews

[Helen McClory]

Hard to rate. Not everything connected with me - most notably, the title poem which I felt a bit orientalising and meandering and referencing things I just did not have the tools or background to understand. That doesn't mean much about the quality of the works themselves, and there were some with that Morgan flair that I could hold on to.
