Into the Rhubarb

<p>Into the rhubarb: headed off the road; to get into trouble; a brawl argument or squabble.<br><br>In her fifth volume of poetry Carla Coles once again brings us into her inimitable inner world. This time along with her odes to the pleasures of coffee and cake and writing she delves into the darker emotions of betrayal endings and coming through the fire with her sense of humour intact and her gift with words honed to a new level of insight.<br><br>Whether the subject matter is painful wonderful chaotically confusing or simply the inappropriating of her own kaleidoscopic inner culture Carla's perfectly parsed insights are never anything less than a delight. And sometimes there's a sly lesson about how to be human in an inhuman world. ~ Bruce Barber author of <em>Jetsam: New and Collected Fictions</em></p>
