The Second Blush Poems Molly Peacock Books Reviews
OK, so I'm pretty much a Molly Peacock fangirl and have liked everything of hers that I've read. This book is no exception.
One thing that I find so enjoyable about Ms. Peacock's poetry is her use of rhyme. Her work would definitely be labelled as free verse, but if you read many of her poems, you will discover end rhymes (and internal rhymes), very subtlely done and yet it's there. It's surprising and musical and quite wonderful. Even the first poem in this book -- "Of Night" --which makes use of a single end word ("night") has both musicality *and* meaning.
She also looks quite frankly at herself and her relationships. She offers insights in language that is plain and accessible, and also artful. Her poems make you think--not to struggle to figure out their surface meaning--but to think about the underlying issues and what is really being shared about life and love.
these are delightful poems, but reading them one almost feels pity for the author who, charming as she is, chooses womanly things and writes about them, lacking the force wielded by her male counterparts, or so was the charge by the old guard who claimed women could not write strong poems.
molly peacock’s contributions to poetry may be delicate in theme, however, all the more deceptive in their passion and power. knowingly, she wages a stealth war against the ghost of dylan thomas.
a playful formalist, in her poem GREAT-GRANDMOTHER’S YOUNG GHOST is an acrostic, and the word ‘frumious’ coined by lewis carroll, author of the alice books, who used the word in two of his poems. how’s that for a fun influence?
in OF NIGHT, an informal sonnet, each line ends with the word ‘night’, and the concluding phrase ‘the pause of night’ is pun and homonym. in THE HAPPY DIARY she uses paragraph marks, varying font sizes and asterisks, with the end word of each line (another sonnet with a fifteenth line in parenthesis squeezed in) rhyming with the word ‘one’, until she tires of exact rhymes and uses assonances, ‘plumb’ and ‘tongue’, two of them.
from her contemplation of the british phrase ‘tempest in a teacup’, she salvages three poems, a sonnet GOOD FORTUNE, THE CUP, which relates the memory of a young student of hers years ago, and TEACUP MANISFESTO where
‘Bivouacked in a woman’s living room,
a heap of soldiers, dusty as flour sacks,
sleeps on her carpet.’
her’s is a housewife’s biography, poems about teacups, paperclips, and washing dishes, poems to her first reader, her husband. in CONFESSION, in less than heroic couples, she writes
‘I confess to my husband
all my little sins’
....
where he is
‘Not veiled in a booth,
but a seeker after truth.
Not in a collar,
but in his sweatpants
unshaven, tousled
not much to you, reader
but to me
shining like a leaf
in the after-rain sun
beaded with a jewel
that’s merely
a water drop.’
her husband, also companion and protector in travel—in dublin becomes spiritual guide to her past. her art poems take her to the entrance of a church where she sees a ‘Sheela na Gig’, a female gargoyle; inside a museum, in GIRL AND FRIENDS VIEW NAKED GODDESS, she describes pier celestino gilardi’s painting, A VISIT TO THE GALLERY; and a during fearful moment in an art class for beginners in the museum basement, she summons her husband as muse.
throughout all of molly peacock’s poems is a portrait of an authentic self, knowing of her strengths and weaknesses, and the roles within a marriage.
I don't remember when I ordered this book, had forgotten that I had it and have never read it. I apologize!
Molly Peacock is a fabulous poet that creates pictures with her words. She creates a fun, sexy, organic world that make you laugh or pause to think. My favorite is "Cliff of Mistakes."
This is an amazingly mature and sensuous collection of poems that show the passions beneath the surface of a marriage; Molly Peacock always finds a way to love a little more. Read these poems and change your life.
