Recenzii

'Connie Bensley's poems are not only funny but truthful. This is the world viewed from London SW13: but hope, betrayal, love, self-delusion, moments of happiness characterise life lived in the suburbs just as much as anywhere else' - Harry Eyres, Express on Sunday. 'Someone who can write with panache about the insouciant pleasure given by a new bra and the coital habits of camels is worth reading' - Helen Dunmore, Poetry Review. 'If Alan Ayckbourn wrote poetry instead of plays, he would sound something like Connie Bensley - like Ayckbourn she has the comic's knack of placing a lot of weight on thin-shouldered words, words blurred by common currency which are suddenly brought into sharp focus and don't really want to be. Beyond the laughs there's great poignancy' - Adam Thorpe, Observer.
