Astringent for Love Jezebel Voule

The gritty, violent and often tragic world in Jezebel Voule's "Astringent for Love" is a poetic plunge into the dark heart of love where the reader is forced to face their fears. They will be forced to exchange the often superficial compromises required to sustain relationships and acknowledge the cataclysm required in the creation of those wounded souls forged by the truest fires of deep romantic love. After reading the poems featured in this book the reader is left with desire to answer their own questions about love, boundaries and authenticity in both life and art. Jezebel Voule touches a cord so close to the truth that one is left wondering if her words capture a moment in time, imagination or a distant past life experience. Her writing is reminiscent of an exposed nerve full of raw emotion and depth that will in turn delight and disturb the reader. I read "Astringent for Love" several times and I could not help but feel that I was let in on some of the deepest darkest secrets of the writers own heart. That is the measure of a great poet, to be able to blur the lines between truth and fiction and leave the reader curious and wanting to know more. T. K. Cyan-Brock "Prisoners of Love"
