Cracked Skull Cinema Summary
Cracked Skull Cinema Reviews
Being focussed and aware is not without pain, suffering and sacrifice for the narrator of these poems. The final poem 'Lullaby' concludes 'we understood the cost of what eluded us.' These poems are full of careful, taut observations and considerations, all within 'the eager crosshairs of truth's opportune rifle.' If at times I longed for some linguistic carnage to shake things up, this is nonetheless a sure-footed, agile and wise group of poems.
