Between The Lines - Karen O'Connor - In this collection she explores what it means to be a woman whether as mother, wife, lover or friend. She also addresses the relationship between men and women, how it can go wrong, how we cope. Her poems are tightly constructed as lines and images run into each other. Emotions and thoughts are described through imagery which can be startling or amusing as in "God on the Landing" where she describes a turkey roasting, "his ass golden in the oven"
