[New-Poetry] Martha Silano

[Anny Ballardini]

Should I ever need a PR David, I will rely on you. This is the most agile, swift and concise paragraph I have read since long on a book that gives you the wish to read more.

  Allow me to recommend the newest book on my bookshelf, Martha Silano's *Blue Positive*,  newly out from Steel Toe Books.  Steel Toe started up in 2003, and has just recently appeared on my radar.  From what I've seen, it seems  to be doing very good things.  


  Silano's work has grabbed my attention in various anthologies and web sites recently--a really quirky, energetic, word-drunk sort of poet.  Her subjects are often domestic, but her style is, to steal Alice Fulton's term, maximalist.


  A healthy sampling of her poems are available on her web site:
