Michelene Wandor's new poetry collection travels in many
directions. There is geography: Italy, Palestine, Ethiopia,
Mesopotamia, France, Egypt, the Lebanon, and, of course, the UK.
Embarked personnel include Gertrude Bell, T.E. Lawrence, Marlon
Brando, Isabella d'Este and Lucrezia Borgia, Solomon and the Queen
of Sheba, George Bernard Shaw and the Gonzagas. Thematically, the
poems alight at Greek mythology, gender, the evergreens of love,
anguish, power and tragedy. The first and final touchpoints lie in
the language itself, which is both guide and sustenance. Lyrical
and narrative, startlingly evocative, elisions and connections,
thrilling, satisfying and demanding, the words and poetic shapes
travel down and across pages and spaces. The travel metaphor is
only a beginning. Original and exciting, this collection resonates
in mind and memory.
