A Matter of Selection - Carol Smallwood
(CarolSmallwood's) greatest strengths lie in her own original content, and in that respect, A Matter of Selection soars not only as a follow-up to her past collections, but also as an independent entry into the modern poetic landscape. Be it the personal touches inside the profound, “The Universe,” the sensory allusions of “A Chemo Visit,” the domestic snapshots shaping “The Sewing Box,” or the startling social commentary beneath the short and simple “Examples,” Smallwood ensures that just about every piece is surprising, unique, and resonant. As such, A Matter of Selection is a tour-de-force illustration of the potentials of poetry.
