And I Will Make of You a Vowel Sound Summary

And I Will Make of You a Vowel Sound by Morag Anderson

In her second chapbook, *And I Will Make of You a Vowel Sound*, Morag Anderson places centre stage an unlikely cast of neglected, exploited, and unsung characters. These poems uncover many of the contradictions of life lived in the female body and bear witness to largely forgotten yet highly-personal stories, woman by woman, girl by girl. Confident and assured of voice, she navigates womanhood and its attendant desires and abuses, permitting the reader to embrace the power and vulnerability encased in the female form. Anderson's delicate choice of words 'unlace restraint' and take us to the limits of the female body's potential.

And I Will Make of You a Vowel Sound Reviews

Dr Maura Dooley said: "Whether considering landscape, a chapter in history, childbirth, child loss, 'I am living by the tick of a stopped clock', reimagining the lives of three women important in Robert Burns's life or relishing the longing in a sense of home, 'In the bittersweet lull/between two days,/open your mouth/to salted air - //and I will make of you a vowel sound.' these are poems of delicacy and import. This is a confident, assured voice able to face grief 'Loss - a thorn that cannot be drawn/by clenched teeth..' yet still be wry about loss and difference, '...me, the rusted iron barb/of a neglected fence,/you, the snagged fur/of a mountain hare.'"
