Book description
Eighty-two raw, fragmented, numbered poems in couplets chart the course of a marriage: passion, obsession, humour, love, sex, control, betrayal and liberation.*In The Mouth of Eulalie Annie Brechin is in love. Well, not her and not the kind of love her heroine, Juliette, desires or deserves. No, this is 'a dark thing,' 'the atrocity committed by women,' confused with sex, and that leads to betrayal and heartbreak. Crafted fittingly in couplets, the poems in Brechin's first collection confront modern relationships directly and frankly. There's little sweet speech and much graphic telling it how it is. The individual titles for each poem in this long narrative sequence are exemplary. Brechin has a keen eye for details and description; though I'm not sure we should want to share the sumptuous feasts that are Juliette's distractions here. They, like all else, are hers, alone. - Kate Noakes "Annie Brechin is a profoundly mesmerising, fresh and captivating poet, somehow both tender and brutal, sharp and vulnerable. The Mouth of Eulalie is a triumph, an empowering read and as uncomfortable as the truth. I found it deeply moving and beautiful, and like all great classics I will treasure my copy of this book and read it again and again." - Salena GoddenAnnie Brechin has always brought a special shape. It might be somewhat lived in, may be folded differently, not always a standard fit, but you know it's gonna hang fabulously. - Tim Wells
