Catherine Daly reviews Antidotes for an Alibi
These poems read to me like poetry versions of flash fiction. Now, I like flash fiction very much, but I like the more fabulistic kind. Amy King is writing the fabulistic kind of flash fiction -- I want to say, "the good kind" -- in poetry. What does this mean? Well, when lineated, the line breaks in the poems point to the jumps in the narrative. When not, the poems still take the same little leaps that poems take.

Whitman, on the other hand liked symbolism, and browning liked metonymy [or resemblance]. I like it all. And I like to mop the floor with the naked truth with some of it, and fly to the moon with fragments of the illusionary kind.Thus, it can be a beehive can it not.And so here is some of my beehive.
