( The second collection of poetry from Sarah Corbett open...)
The second collection of poetry from Sarah Corbett opens with the title poem, an invocation of woman as witch. Her sensuous and evocative language conjures intimate worlds, and her subjects are often fearlessly personal—birth, death, and love in all of its manifestations. The book includes several sequences, including a series of erotic love sonnets, a group of poems about the birth of a son, vivid impressions of Eastern Europe, and pieces that focus on the death of a father.

(Sarah Corbett is less interested in the everyday aspects ...)
Sarah Corbett is less interested in the everyday aspects of reality than in "what moves beneath the surface of my own, and others' experience." This infuses her poems with mystery and with the intent of discovery. They resound with atmosphere and frequently invoke images from the natural world. Two notable themes (each with a series of poems) recur. The first is based on the author's experience of her mother's absence as a young child. In some poems the mother appears like a benevolent ghost, a figure the protagonist is "always waiting for," in others she is more ambiguous, or even "an imposter." The second major series derives from the author's childhood in rural Wales and her particular fascination for horses. Horses appear in both the actual and imaginative senses, as icons for strength, freedom and unbridled erotic energy.
