Then by Linda Black The Gallery Press although expressed in the language"Linda Blacks sparkling poems charm and beguile and then, quite often, twist a small knife. Under a rubric of little involuntary musings, she makes a miscellany of different forms: prose poems, grid poems, extended aphorisms with a sting in the tail, fantastical flash fiction. They toy with nostalgia, trailing threads of real memories into imaginary word gardens bristling with tricks. Words collude allude, slip over each other, with many near misses.
