Vanessa Napolitano's Birds and Bruises is a subtle collection based in the everyday, but the poems work like little spells. There is a much to be said for the quiet poem when it teeters on a moment, like the delicate observations of a mother in 'This morning' as she folds laundry in the garden. How many of us lead lives of high drama after all? No, Napolitano's poetry finds profound truths in smallness, in the domestic, in cauliflowers and dandelions, in trifles, origami and banana currents. What deep currents, however, run through these unobtrusive voices and lives.
-Zoë Brigley, author of Hand & Skull, editor of Poetry Wales
