Review
by Nicholas Cobic, co-editor of the UK's "freshest literary
magazine," The Wolf
"Shaken
& Stirred is like a huge marketplace where one can walk
through and pick into the basket of their soul the poetry that best
suits their own world. This is a collection with great
potential
and one to which a reader of modern poetry will want to come back for
inspiration, again and again."
[....]
"Heather
Grace, the editor of this collection, is perhaps the poet who
exhibits the greatest love of life. Her poems are filled with a deep
inner passion for the most ordinary things. Not every poet can express
this. Grace successfully makes a poem become a short film where
everything can be imagined just the way the author wants us to see
them. In a Café and Afternoons show this with clarity. Her
best
afternoons are "shaken and stirred" with imagination, just like this
collection. Although she sometimes finds it hard to escape the obvious
topics, such as the September 11 tragedy, Heather still reflects these
topics in a much different light than an ocean of other poets would,
and do. However, the main thing is, the passion is always there, even
in a cup of coffee."
[....]
"A
modern Emily Dickinson is probably the closest description of Lyn
Lifshin. Her works are mature, exact, often sharp. This is a female
sharpness, one of matriarchal images, daughters, the Madonna.
Uncommonly, Lifshin often becomes cold in places where one expects
warmth. Conversely, she boils with passion in places where someone else
(read less experienced poet) would come across as common and plain. And
that unpredictability is absolute splendour as used here."
[....]
"Aspects
of modern life and classical poetry influence Wynn
Wheldon's work. He is a family man even in poetry (or perhaps he
sees poetry as his own family), but the family in his mind is more than
sacred. Not just plain and simple love, but the adoration of family
life and actions are easily spotted in his work. His language and
standpoint is both ironic and witty, and this gives real joy to the
reader."
