What treats are served up in this new book of poems by Phillippa
Yaa de Villiers! To read just the first line of the first poem is
to be skeined into a tantalizing world where nothing is
predictable. Like the best of poets, she makes language do her
bidding, wresting new sense from familiar images and situations,
surprising us and ambushing our expectation. In the title poem can
be seen the range and subtlety that characterises her work – the
clear-eyed honesty, the perceptiveness, the playfulness, the
attention to nuance. The Everyday Wife sums up the boundaries and
expanses of a relationship, the possibility of menace, even, in the
midst of love. In one way or another, Phillippa Yaa de Villiers
illuminates relationships of many kinds and many intensities –
between lovers, children and parents, the politics of emotion
shared and remembered and confronted, sustained across the distance
of place or memory.
