Gold & Other Fish by Hilary Sideris

$14.00

 

The vehicle that these poems ride in on, I’ll let readers discover on their own. What I will reveal, here, is that these are sharp – if not often biting – and funny – if not often hilarious – lyrics which explore the vulnerable self, the armed self, the self alone, the self in relationship through the power of metaphor; that which may be seen point black in our lives, masked here to gain objectivity, distance, clarity, and insight. These short, punchy lyrics are spare and unadorned, yet brilliantly textured, smart and multi dimensional.
