Glowing reviews of Clare Best's new volume Excisions
Clare Best’s Excisions is hard-hitting and in places a difficult read because of the narrative of the middle section, but Best conquers this brilliantly with her sharp, yet gorgeous writing. She is direct and specific, guiding the reader with surgical precision through the collection.
Abegail Morley, Nov 2011,
The New Writer
Accessible, beautifully crafted, tender and often witty, without a trace of self-pity these poems chart the rational, physical and emotional journeys we make as sentient beings. It is a love song to life and as such deserves to be read and reread.

This is precise, inventive, often witty and sometimes erotic, and at all times powerfully truthful writing – I don’t think any other group of poems has made me feel so aware of my body.

Fawzia Kane is a spinner of tales and tall stories, sometimes in the mischievous and charming voice of Tantie Diablesse (the ageless spirit of an ex-slave who is part-healer, part-witch), on other occasions in the voices of the odd and bright characters who populate this book: Borges's Imaginary Beings, The Mighty Sparrow (a calypso singer from the 50s), 'La Cuentista Bonita,' 'The Douen' (the lost souls of children who died before being baptized) and the poet herself, as a child growing up in Trinidad. In these rich and varied poems Kane resurrects 'buried songs' and their 'dreams of disquiet'.

Armadillo Basket
Helen’s strength is her killer lines and an honest dissection of her life, from haiku....to tanka and longer poetry: she taps the green light in us.

the waltz in my blood
Petrucci is a true polymath, blending disciplines to exultant and exalting effect… Petrucci’s tulips promise to grow into a truly ambitious landmark body of work.
