One of the best!!!
Just read this book with my coffee before work and what a way to kick off the day. Wow. These poems are the finest in human condition poetry dynamite. This lady is a league of her own. The two collections I've read so far have made such an impact and been so inspiring. She had my full attention after the opening poem 'memento' ordered me to go grab the kleenex box. Damn. My very favorites were 'the bar', 'aged to perfection', 'seatbelt', 'while the cat's away', 'no regrets', 'reality sets in', 'yours', 'stalking the stalked', 'accept', 'blue'...my absolute fav gem, 'on being'.
Wonderful writing
The QMC's third book of poetry is very different from the previous two books. In No Apologies she said things how they were, there was a raw anger there, in No Secrets she revealed a lot about herself, again there was that raw anger. In No Regrets things are more reflective, lots of observational poems, very Bukowski-esque at times, some real emotional stuff about her parents and missing them, you can see this must have been tough to write, yet at the same time she must have got some therapy from completing it.
There are some amazing lines here, one of my favourites;
"My words are sirens
hailing the coming
of a s**t storm."
One thing that annoys the hell out of me is those who don't reply to an email/text, I have a friend who can take a week to get round to replying. In "Incommunicado" QMC has put down in words perfectly what I feel on the matter.
Once nice touch in this collection was the fourth wall being broken down, quite often a poem ends suddenly so the author can talk to the reader, this brought a smile to my face every time.
Best poem in the book for me was "definition" I've tried explaining QMC's writing to somebody before and never mange to get the right words, now I can just show them this poem as it is perfect.
Another great collection, and good news, at the end it mentions there is another book in progress. HUZZAH!!!
You won't regret reading this!
Carter-Winward has lived a life thatâs worth writing about. Sex is always the main running theme, but the more I read her work, the more I understand that sheâs not really writing about sex at all â and it is that (for one thing) which makes her poetry stand head and shoulders above others (who are just writing about sexual experiences). Carter-Winward is writing about the human condition. Sheâs contrasting her life to others. She writes about growing up as a Mormon and turning her back on religion, she writes about family, and loss and injustice and stupidity. Sheâs knowingly allowing the reader to be a voyeur into every facet of her world: hence the titles of this trilogy of books: âno apologiesâ, âno secretsâ and âno regretsâ.
J. A. Carter-Winward is the best contemporary poet I know of, end of.
One of the best poets working right now
Devastatingly honest, wickedly funny, packed with soul and compassion, this is a book to be read over and over again.
