Reckless Women

Meer over het boek

Reckless women inhabit the spaces of these women who dare to travel without maps or even "a single sign," women who dare the seduction of cliff edge leaps into deadly waters, women who dare the midnight garden to ensure their crop. She also learns that recklessness is a dangerous game. That’s when poetry itself comes to the rescue. When Frey reaches love’s end and is herself silenced, the poems speak that silence. This deft and almost deceptively confident book demonstrates clearly that the question is unnecessary. As audience we stand and applaud. We may not always know how she has done it, but by God these poems affect and move us. To hell with the clowns and elephants, we’ll happily stay with the magician." —Christopher Wiseman
