Description
"I have enjoyed the work of Carolyn Srygley-Moore (aka C Leigh Srygley) for some time now, so I am pleased to write a few words about their new book, Termites Amidst the Milky Way, due to be released late November 2022. Throughout this new collection you will find C Leigh Srygley in firm control as each poem challenges us with complexity in form, rhythm, and content. What we may have considered the commonplace - matchbox toys, dolls, bicycles, bridges, house chores, sea shells, etc are used to bring us to an unavoidable truth - that now war, violence and terror have become the commonplace of our every day. C Leigh Srygley brings us to these conclusions over and over again through their firm control of context and form. With each read there is something new revealed, something proving that it was futile to think we could anticipate the next twist in the tale. These are poems to be savored and enjoyed for their composition, while the content makes us realize that C Leigh Srygley's dedication "to all resistance to tyranny and to those now living in a state of terror" is in some way applicable to us all. C Leigh Srygley: The only writer I know who can hang your tongue on barbed wire and have you wanting more.
