I was just thrilled to find a terrific review of “Honey and Vinegar and Seawater” (published in Mermaids Monthly, August 2021). It was in Quick Sip Reviews from Charles Payseur. Here’s the link: https://quicksipreviews.blogspot.com/2021/09/quick-sips-09102021.html
The review totally got to the heart of the poem. “A nice and rather wicked piece that speaks to me of roles and of consequence.”
I love Charles’s reviews. They’re kind and insightful, and I usually end up reading several of the stories – or poems – reviewed. There’s also a new “Scales of Relative Grimness” to establish how dark the content and tone of the reviewed stories are. Which I find very valuable, and hope to see become more widespread.
