The Tuesday Poem this week is "Sangan River Meditations: Spring, by Susan Musgrave",
selected by Kathleen Jones: http://tuesdaypoem.blogspot.co.nz/2015/07/sangan-river-meditations-spring-by.html
Kathleen
says about this poem:
Susan's poetry is as unconventional
as the poet, and it's a very unusual collection, containing several long
sequences. There are surprising contrasts - swings from contemplative
rhythms to 'in your face' passages, and - as one reviewer commented - 'enough
tragedy to break your heart'. I particularly love the Sangan River
Meditations, and also Heroines, a hard-edged, unsentimental series of poems,
which was commissioned for a documentary about the lives of six prostitutes,
addicted to heroin, and which won several awards. A poem from Heroines is
featured on my own blog today.
