Book Review:


Karen Lee Oliver's Tales from the Mirwood is a collection of poems that resemble surreal dreams, with many mysterious images (spiral staircases, labyrinths, twilight) that often come alive through personification.


Oliver also includes more personal-seeming poems, pieces written in first person that peel back the illusions of the day to reveal a haunted narrator, as in A Dark Illusion, which begins: I live /With all the horrors/ Of the night/ To which, /My soul has an aversion. Many of the poems have medieval storylines and characters. These more intimate, vulnerable, and searching poems give readers a welcome sense of the contemporary psyche while still written with a gothic style.
