Woman

Nightmares of the Minor Poet

Woman

Rooted in the moss  and mushroom of the female body, the poems in Lois Marie Harrod's chapbook Woman refreshingly skirt the merely celebratory. Harrod's natural music, sharp observations and sly wit bring a quirky authenticity to her tales of women often silenced, missing parts, or completely disassenbled, Catherine Doty

Harrod creates various personas in her new book of poems Spat.  Some  are contemplative, some nostalgic, some whimsical, all are smart. My  favorite is the passive/aggressive narrator who asks, “What is there to  fix?” about a marriage that needs much fixing. These poems are full of  wit, “I don’t know how to define our hide and tweak”…and wisdom, “the  danger comes when you start talking.” And there is music here, playful  and beautiful music, “the rat a tat tattle in the brain,” “jammering  like a jackhammer.” When you read these poems aloud, even your mouth  will be happy.

Fragments from the Biography of Nemesis

"Open this sentence carefuly" the poems advise, and "look how the ledge gives way."  Indeed one of the primary pleasures of poetry is seeing how quickly the known and unknown can switch places.  Harrod's consierable accomplishment is in capturing these elemental transition for us. Catie Rosemurgie
