Book Review: "Joyriding To Nightfall"

 

Joyriding to Nightfall by Joan Colby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There is so much bad or impenetrable poetry out there that it's a genuine joy to find a collection like this one. Joan Colby draws from the classic poetic subjects: nature, love, death. She uses what manages to seem simultaneously like conversational language and also head-exploding, unexpected metaphors and combinations of disparate things to achieve poetry that is true and honest and visceral. And besides, this volume has the best cover art ever. Absolutely recommended.
