Sam says… A lot of conversations I have with people at the bookshop about poetry hinge on the balance between feeling and ideas. Not enough of one… too much of the other. I think what disguises Seuss’s work is how she strikes the balance: in this book of poems, which is also a kind of essay on craft, the work is always both warm and wry: full of heart and spryly cerebral. Frank:sonnets, also published this year by Fitzcarraldo, is also full of gems.
