The body labyrinth

'Sharon Berg's poetry has passion, and promise, and flurries of extraordinary verbal panache. When they come together - as they do in 'The Coat of Many Colours', for instance - the results are quite marvellous. She is one of the younger poets to watch.' - Dennis Lee 'Berg's poetry explores relationships between men and women and roles each assumes, but there is not the aggressive dogmatism and combativeness in her poetry often found in contemporary female writing. Instead she recognizes the need of both men and women to take risks, to be vulnerable without being naive, to be both radical and innocent.' - Robbie Ried Although it is presented in a dramatic manner, this is actually a book of poetry in three sections. They include Personal Myths and The Marriage Sedan, which are somewhat the portrayal of the valleys and peaks in failed relationships. The book ends with a section devoted to paintings.
