Review # 2 was written on 2016-11-16 00:00:00 Philipp Gorgus Published in 1996 to great acclaim, this collection explores relationships, loss, and womanhood. There is little about the themes of these poems that sets them apart, but Clanchy's use of language, particularly her understanding of verbs and of slant-rhyme, is very effective. These poems are not all successful -- some feel too generic, too pared back -- but when they are, they are very beautiful indeed.
