Description

Luisa Futoransky is a poet of lived experience above all, though not hers alone; other voices inhabit the work, whether of friends, lovers, fellow travellers (people she met or figures from history and literature).

Like her fiction, the poetry employs a direct language rooted in anecdote and reflection, while sometimes delighting in playful experimentalism.

Hers are mosaic narratives, made of pieces, fragments.

Something else to notice in Nettles is her flair for the theatrical, especially acute when she writes in shorter forms.

Surely her studies of opera helped to hone her instinct for the dramatic gesture.

But to think that we start in Rome with this book only to end up in Ohio.

That is some sense of humour.
