Write a review.'Going beyond the “liquid boundaries” of the mind and living on the razor’s edge of insanity she shares with her readers what it is like to struggle through the “torturous maze of distress/where confusion reigns and/clarity remains submerged".' Source: LOTLReviewer: Julia Hancock 'Their direct appeal lies in [the poems’] combination of comedy and despair, of terror and courage.’ Source: Australian Bookseller and PublisherReviewer: Jennifer Cooke 'Sandy Jeffs powerfully creates madness as cultural institution and social inscape. Her vivid, cogent poetry fully conveys the harsh peremptoriness of insanity and is at the same time empoweringly sane.’ Source: OverlandReviewer: Kerry Leves ‘This is disturbing but quite wonderful poetry because of its clarity, its humour, its imagery, and the insights it gives us into being human, being mad, being sane. I read and read – and was profoundly moved. I delighted in it as poetry, I was touched by its honesty, courage and vulnerability.’ Reviewer: Anne Deveson 2004 - 2010 © BookstorePro |
