"Each poem in Rachel Long's award-winning My Darling from the Lions has a vivid story to tell-of family quirks, the perils of dating, the grip of religion, or sexual awakening-stories that are, by turn, emotionally insightful, politically conscious, wise, funny, and outrageous. Told in three sections, it's a book about growing up, falling in love with not-great men, and girlhood; a collection that speaks to femininity, divinity, familial shame, Black identity, and modern culture. Long reveals herself as a razor-sharp and original voice on the issues of sexual politics and cultural inheritance that polarize our current moment. With a fresh commitment to the power of the individual poem, her collection offers immediate, wide-awake poetry that entertains royally, without sacrificing a note of its urgency or remarkable skill. My Darling from the Lions marks the arrival of a thrilling new voice and presence in poetry"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Of the poems, I found it difficult at times to tell when a new one had started or where there was just a larger than usual gap between lines. The lack of dynamic range contributed to this in that it all seemed to run into one. She also had a vocal tick of pronouncing what I assume was asking as arksing.
Of the poems themselves there is a lot of dark in here, an encounter that could easily be interpreted as rape and what I presume to be an abortion feature. There was on recurring poem about how she slept that I found endearing but her written experience is too far from mine for me to have a great deal of touch points. ( )
