Yvonne Green: Selected Poems and Translations

I like the way good food and diction go together so clearly. Geographically [these poems] excel, and in so many other directions too. The poems are different to what one normally gets in English, the issues far bigger, as in "e;Dhimmi Under Sharia Law"e; (A Lawyer's Poem) and in many others that one may benefit from. Such excellent poems show how different customs can nevertheless blend, especially in, "e;We Speak English Now."e; I also very much like, "e;That I May Know You:"e; "e;Let me visit your houise/and eat something/of what is on your table/hear you and know/some of your language."e;' - Alan Sillitoe
