Recensione

Jaffa's skill lies in showing us the tension between restrictions and freedom. How can we soar away or enjoy the rules... she celebrates limitless horizons; her language is musical, her images bright. --PN Review

Naomi Jaffa's poems - intimate, sensuous, sensual - have the vivid texture of real life. Her bold use of the domestic, the ordinary, illuminates often disturbing or ambivalent emotion. She writes brilliantly about adolescence, a certain daddy's girl rebelliousness. Here are nakedly and exuberantly female poems which conjure sexuality, memory, longing, grief and pack many a shock of recognition. --Liz Lochhead
