Synopsis

Connie Bensley’s poems are sharply satirical, often poking fun at social pretence and suburban pretension. They present a comedy of manners in which her often mismatched characters are bounced between love, death and disappointment. The Back and the Front of It gives both sides of the argument, the dashed hopes of one, the false expectations of the other.
