Review for Childhood Memory from the Old Victorian House on Warner BY BETH CATO, ★★★★☆, May 2020
SF poetry is still something new for me. A learning process. Right now that means: do I grasp what is going on and does it generate an internal picture or movie in my head. This one did. I saw the room, the wallpaper, the butterfly trying to escape and I felt the horror of the narrator, wanting another room…. am I too simple?
I was five years old
when I began to awaken
before dawn
to watch the first beam of sunlight
coax the green wallpaper awake
