Cul de Sac

Verna Relkoff

Verna Relkoff's poems in Cul de Sac (and the collection Mem from which they are excerpted) craft a convincing voice at once humorous, tender, blazingly honest, exasperated, heart-wrenching. The exotic and the domestic dance, intermingle and confront each other in poem after poem. Although the setting for the book is long ago and far away, the power and delight generated by Relkoff's artistry illuminate our contemporary existence no less than the moments and locales that were the original inspiration for her words. For whose life is not a mix of the unexpectedly weird and the familiar? Relkoff's astonishing talent is to show us much about daily life today through a captivating portrayal of experiences from another time. - Tom Wayman
