Hello All,Pris, I am pleased to hear that I captured your intentions. The book was a pleasure to read, and as you know I went through many readings before I finally decided on what I, as the reader, took away from the collection as a whole.Many of the poems will stay with me for a long time, especially the one including Leon. There is a real sense of one attempting to discover themselves in that

This is a very thoughtful and insightful review, Sirrus. I greatly enjoyed it. I'm pleased to see you chose her to review. She's one of my favorite poets because of the humanity she displays in the people represented in her work. Their situations, responses, reactions, pain, problems, longings, passions, etc. all ring true. And as you mention in your work, her poetry is immediately visual.

This is an excellent review Sirrus. I 'know' Pris well, through our internet friendship, and have a valued, signed copy of 'Abrasions'. I have always admired her work, her use of words and phrases, and her ability to get right down to the core of interpersonal relationships - often through bizarre analogies and impressionist language.You have analyzed her search for 'self' in an insightful way,
