Dreams, Like Heretics by Alison Fell
In Dreams, Like Heretics, Alison Fell expresses the geography of loss and longing. The linguistic energy which informs her poetry is full of grace and fierce wit as she turns images into metaphors of desire, and renewal. A moving sequence, ?In memoriam D.C.?, embraces with the grace of an elegy the dead lover - his moods, his fragrances, his fight for life in a Turkish hospital. Her last collection since Kisses for Mayakovsky, Dreams, Like Heretics makes abundantly clear that Alison Fell is a poet worth waiting for.
?Alison Fell?s stock as a writer is risingWith four novels, three edited anthologies of women?s writing, two collections of poetry and sheaves of short stories behind her, the voice developed is remarkable. Supple in its pacing, with a graphic descriptive accuracy and bright, imaginative aptness, there?s an innate quality to it, an imaginative coherence seaming the poetry and the prose...? The Guardian
