Begnal reviews Trevor Joyce’s What’s in Store

My review of Trevor Joyce’s collection What’s in Store: Poems 2000-2007 can be read at the site of Free Verse, a very good online journal edited by Jon Thompson at North Carolina State University. Please click the first link to go directly to the review, or the ‘Free Verse’ link to peruse the whole number.

Incidentally, Free Verse also previously published my poem “Bettie Page”, and the supplement of contemporary Irish-language poetry which I edited.

Ancestor Worship reviewed at EYEWEAR

Ancestor Worship is reviewed at Todd Swift’s blog, EYEWEAR. The review itself is by Toronto-based writer Craig Saunders, and features not only my book but fellow Salmon poet Susan Millar DuMars’ as well.

Do please check it out (at the link on the word “reviewed”, above). I liked Saunders’ characterization of AW as a “challenging set of psychogeographic explorations,” and his emphasis on displacement and the blurring of lines.
