Words from Laura Lush for my coming poetry book
星期三 十二月 02, 2009 5:53 pm
It is a rare thing to come across a first collection of poems that leaves the reader feeling completely captivated and awed. Such is the case with Anna Yin’s collection, “The Door Ajar.” Writing mainly in short narrative lyrics, Yin’s highly imagistic style brims with freshly-conceived similes and metaphors and an economy of language that belies the powerful messages of loss and love. These are poems that remain with you long after you have finished reading them; a collection that constantly surprises and delights with its beautifully-rendered images, unexpected turns of phrases, and its equally powerful quiet moments of longing and regret. Simply dazzling! ----Laura Lush
