Synopsis

[i] Sleeping with Rivers Cath Drake Poetry Individual Collections ISBN-13: 9781781721841 Publication Date: Thursday, February 27, 2014 0 £5.00 Paperback The manuscript that kept sifting to the top, Sleeping with Rivers by Cath Drake, is simply full of gorgeous poems. Drake has a tendency to a longer line, a discursive manner, a narrative depth.I started to love these poems from the very first line of the first poem, Every morning she wakes up with rivers... Drake s tone is beautifully sensitive to the rhythms of language: knows when to pull back, when to unfurl startling imagery. There are artful poems about a childhood in Australia and poems involving the education of the female protagonist/poet. In one poem, a teacher, a spineless Mr Jacob, suffers a fitting destiny and in another long, strange and hilarious poem, a duck haunts the protagonist like a persistent nightmare. There is a quietly devastating wit at work.[/i][br] Amy Wack, Poetry Editor of Seren books and judge of the Mslexia pamphlet prize.
