Lady - Laurie Bolger - Bog

Lady, the new collection of poems by Laurie Bolger, plays with the arc of a chick flick. Whilst trying to be the most honest version of themselves the poems play the parts of housewife, fitness instructor, landlady, hen, sister, mother, boxer or drunk. The poems get stuck on the ideal of small girl in a big dress when perhaps we are wild, dreaming big and taking it all in.
