Rain in the Attic

Shyla George has an eye for detail lucid memories of childhood nostalgia for a vanishing world and a pictorial imagination. Her simple poems evoke a world where human beings live in harmony with nature and the rhythms of life and of rain complement each other.- K. SatchidanandanThere is a varied often subtle and original portfolio of poems. Some of the imagery is beautiful and stark and a number of the poems are charged with sad honest humanity. The natural warmth and acceptance of the speakers of many of these poems gives them a melancholy charm.- Dr. Rory Waterman Senior Lecturer in English and Creative Writing Nottingham Trent University United KingdomHer poetry has a very distinctive voice that is warm precise vulnerable and playful. Moreover her manipulation of reality is often both witty and psychologically interesting.- Dr. Andrew Taylor FRSA Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing and English NTU UK
