From Just About Write (www.justaboutwrite.com): The poetry in Under the Fig Tree can be summed up in three words: imbued with passion. Of course, you might say, all poetry is born of passion. But Emily Reed has carefully crafted the emotions in her poems, and each verse vibrates with an underlying current that stirs your blood until you feel an intense rhythm thrumming throughout your body. Reed pens poems of fulfilling love that lilt with joy; poems of relinquished love that quiver with the pain of not being able to give what doesn’t exist; poems of wrenching pain that twist your guts; playful poems that romp with teasing and cajolery and make you laugh aloud at her clever wit. If
you enjoy being led through an intimate dance by a poet, you must have
this volume of poems. Emily Reed sometimes lifts you up, sometimes drops
you down, and sometimes twirls you gleefully around; you’ll be
pleased you accepted the invitation to accompany her. |
