- Summary
- "Put Your Hand in Mine dips your hand in a subtly humorous, surreal paint pot of behaviours forming the rainbow of social good. An archetypal ego pinnacles in pride, plummets in valleys of rage, triggering the explosion of a light bomb. A boy shooter has a gun--his hand--poised. The poet recipient of his "bullets" melts them into lead for her poems. When stuck in a well of depression, a crack is found in the stonework, an idea seeps in to rope up or down. Emotions peak, particularly in post #MeToo interactions where leering at the office water cooler is met with a feminine mask of a smile, as a beleaguered woman grinds her heel into the perpetrator's instep, and contemplation natural, when iconic Barbie's friends, Hispanic Teresa and African American Christie bear unrealistically Caucasian features. You'll laugh when a pained hen berates three mallards. When you put your hand in the poet's you'll be tickled to find wisdom, too, in unexpected places."--
