Description

Reading these poems is like standing in the middle of a beautiful heath on a gentle summer's day, only for the skies to begin to lower and for that same generous heath to be transformed, on the instant, into a dark and threatening place. In short, Michelle Young writes poetry as if in alliance with the ghosts that swirl around your soul. Be entranced by her gentle, yet haunting, words.

Review by: George Polley on July 10, 2011 :
I like the kind of poetry that draws me in, engages me and keeps me coming back again and again. Michelle Young writes that kind of poetry: Surprising, passionate, tender and in a poem about postpartum depression, as bleak as a desert of ice. I've never in my life read a poem as effective as Post Natal, even from women I've known who have suffered from it. I am chilled, but feel compassion, which is what such a poem should bring out in a reader.

Her poem The Relinquishment is the kind of poem that gets you thinking; "Dead Dogs and Dragons" is a wonderfully magical poem about childhood and memory; Let It Be a song about growing old and coming home to a recently empty house after a beloved spouse spouse has died; Blackpool Beach a moving poem about a young mother and her two sons, one of them severely handicapped.
