In the poems of Sandra Kohler the aubade [or dawn song] tradition is given fresh and surprising shape in poems of rich harmonies where a dark undertow, a sweet languor pulls back towards dream. . . .

Sandra Kohler's poetry shows well the distinction between domestic writing and the French l'ecriture feminine, or writing through the body. Her poems depict female experience at its most intimate, illuminating the paradoxes and practicalities in one's sense of physical identity ("I want to tell the truth: sex is not / the final intimacy for me"). Closeness rather than distanced objectivity becomes her palette: the son dreaming in his mother's lap, the child like a moon before birth and the sun, afterwards. In their simplicity, her images reveal a naked and honest truth. literature and fiction,poetry,politics and social sciences,regional and cultural,women's studies Women's Studies, Calyx Books<
