Read the review and then consider buying a copy of the chapbook in the Blood Pudding Press shop here - https://www.etsy.com/shop/BloodPuddingPress?section_id=14819899&ref=shopsection_leftnav_1

"Oh I really really like Paula Cary’s chap, Sister, Blood and Bone! Its poems contain the paradox of garnets—stones for, say, jewelry but ever evoking blood. Jewels that should be pretty but end up with other significances besides decorativeness."
"I also love how
some poems, while loving, are not sentimental. That’s a good enough combo, except that Cary ups
the juice to actually end up in nothing less than rapture!"
"And I love how
other poems make my bones wince (yes, bones, not merely flesh as the effect
goes deep)—except that I’m wincing with delight. It’s that paradoxical effect—you know, you’re thinking:
that’s a tad perverse and yet being highly amused."
"I am attracted to
these poems for their beauty and charm, notwithstanding—or maybe, in addition
to—their rather eerie facets."
