In the House of Slaves

Evelyn Lau is a Canadian genius and her poetry is so truthful and wrapped with pain. I love Lau's courage her courage to explore the depths of her agony and despair. She does not hate men Lau is heterosexual for the record. She is just being honest the poems were written when Lau was in her early twenties. Natually when a person is in their early twenties they think differently then when they are an adult.

i love the way she writes about dark subjects, which range from adultery to child abuse...she tries on many masks in her poetry and they are always breathtaking. she is gifted with imagery and many of the poems i could see as clear as paintings as i was reading them. you have a right to criticize her, but i wonder could you do any better? i doubt it. they registered strongly with me on an emotional level. i love artists who dont let political correctness influence their work. evelyn is also a fine novelist, too...
