Review Erin Wilson

"A Song For Small Souls" was my introduction to cento poetry. I like the "pop art" take to poetry, it seems like a very time consuming yet rewarding task, I applaud how well you meshed together the many different authors. There is a great flow to your poem, no quote seems out of place. I love the perfect selection of Poe to set a darker tone to the poem, as he is often associated with:
"Poe: Then- in my childhood -in the dawn
Poe: Darkness there and nothing more"


In the poem "Abortion" I feel that the short lines are a strong and weak point to the poem. On one hand it reminded me of the short abrupt ending to life that abortion can be associated with. But I also think that the lines could be condensed and sorted through to get your message across. I applaud your bravery in discussing such a controversial issue.
