The Glass Violin contains poems about dogs, gods, Australia's military operations, injustice, politics, music, teeth, ageing, childhood and those little pieces of plastic that hold bread-bags together. It is, in other words, a diverse collection, marked by vivid imagery, inventive use of language and humour. It was recently reviewed by US critic Jendi Reiter on the web-site Winning Writers (24 December) http://www.winningwriters.com/new/ wn_new.php: A shorter version of a review published in her blog, is below (http://www.jendireiter.com/) The Glass Violin By P.S. Cottier. This Australian poet truly does see the universe in a grain of sand--as well as in a tram ticket, a Caesarian scar, the names of Australian military operations, a shabby bear in the Soviet zoo, a wren visiting a dead friend's garden, and myriad other small details of modern life that she turns into windows on the human condition, in verses both whimsical and profound.
