Laddar... Singing Back to the Sirensav Margaret DeRitter
Ingen/inga Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken.  msoul13 | May 13, 2020 |    Det här är en av LibraryThings förhandsrecensioner.The book has two parts with wonderful poems. Poems talk about different forms of love, the kind between mother and child, two best friends, and a lot more. The exploration of sexuality at an early age, falling for a friend and accepting herself are written beautifully by the author. I liked how the author presented the frustrations of a lesbian woman when she falls for a straight woman. And that really made my heart clench. The struggles she faces from the moment she identifies her sexuality to finding her love, losing it and going through the grief are very well written in the form of poems and it is kind of incredible. Each poem is a song sung back to the many wonderful women in her life. After all, they shaped the way she sees desire, love, pain, strength and many more emotions, thus helping her define life and evolve. Margaret DeRitter is a promising author. She crafted the poems very well. I look forward to reading more of her works. I received this book from Librarything for an honest review.

Singing Back to the Sirens explores the many ways that desire and love, loss and grief, can shape a woman's life. The poems in this two-part collection look at the loneliness of a newborn for her sick mother, the first stirrings of sexual desire for a best friend, the treacherous leap from a sheltered world of faith into lesbian life, the frustrations of falling for straight women, the alchemy of falling in love, the aftermath of losing it. In the first section, the poet sings back to the many women she has loved. In the second, she sings back to the one who sang the sweetest and the saddest songs.

This collection of poems details a life of love and loss. I liked how the sequencing of the poems helped the entire work flow as a novel-like narrative. DeRitter's poetry reveals how personal tragedy can color different aspects of one's life, even into maturity. (
