ISBN: 978-0-9864616-1-3
RRP: $45.00
Ophelia in Harlem is Michelle Cahill’s second collection of poetry. Her expertly crafted poems lend an autobiographical voice to the complexities of modern female experience, yet never lapse into sentimentality. Cahill’s intense emotional scrutiny of people is balanced by a delicate but wry humour, leaving the reader with an almost palpable sense of an event, as in the poem ‘Girlfreind’ “but when you leave/the night inhales/ Givenchy & trumpet lilies”
