What is Giving Back Diamonds about?

Giving Back Diamonds: She[Bowering] writes with a kind of absolute pitch, her use of words spare, accurate, evocativeone has the sense not only of walking in a fascinating mind but also of perceiving through a subtle and highly tuned sensibility. The diction is unerring; the tone is always appropriate; the poise is so assured that one longs for and welcomes the occasional awkwardness the necessary imperfection. Canadian Literature, George Woodcock * This is a book of humour and tragedy, lyricism and anger, memory and mythology. Bowering manages a clarity of vision with a lushness of language rarely seen in such a successful combination.It is quite a feat to be witty and acknowledge the sad realities of life all at once. This is book to be read over and over, and an achievement that will certainly place Marilyn Bowering in the top ranks of poets in this country. Writers Quarterly, Carolyn Smart * Marilyn Bowerings fifth book is her best so far, which means that it is astonishing in its lyrical strength, its deftly controlled symbolism, and its freshness of vision and clearly places Bowering as one of the most significant of ourpoets.
