SINGING ME HOME
Canadian Woman Studies, Vol.28(2/3), p177
01 Apr 2010
Abstract
The second two sections of Singing Me Home shift attention to the world of an adult - and these poems, too, are remarkable. In "Lull" and "Critique" the narrator compares herself to a bird. In "Lull," she is vulnerable, "like a fledgling bird / I can fall in the limber space between us." In "Critique," an encounter with the department head of creative writing, she has become "a yellow parakeet on his shoulder." "Critique" is one of many poems that evidence [Carol Lipszyc]'s sensitivity to sonic elements of a poem. Here internal rhyme and monosyllabic words skewer the creative writing department head: "what he thought I ought to say."
