Suicide Psalms

Daniel Zomparelli

In Suicide Psalms (Anvil Press), Mari-Lou Rowley takes a dark subject and frames it in a minimalist form, and she is largely successful in this endeavour.

The words and imagery can cut like a razor, and although in certain poems the blade comes up dull, this work hits an emotional chord in the fewest words possible.
