"Connie on Connie," Remark, Summer, 1992. CRITICAL COMMENTS BY OTHERS: About 10 to the 170th: "....the writing, a 12 section epic chant for the dead and dying, is a hypnotic confessional flow filled with wise, true psychobabble and real-life folks...Connie Fox is like an old woman rattling and knitting, only she uses guts instead of yarn." (Ken Sutherland in Mockreviewsz, #4). About The Dream of the Black Topaze Chamber: "I have read this 15 page poem/prose (?) a number of times and have been confused by its ofttimes obscurity, amazed at its complexity, overwhelmed by the breadth of its content, and amazed at its colloquial simplicity." (Laurence F. Hawkins Jr., Dog River Review). About Our Lady of Laussel: "....a totally different cup of tea....genuinely powerful imagery....difficult to identify with or even understand but strangely also very compelling...very readable..." (Ore, England, #44) A review of Blood Cocoon: The Selected Poetry : “If Walt Whitman had been a woman, all of nature would have been reconfigured to a different time, zone, place. That is what Connie Fox's poetry makes me believe. And it's Whitman who this free verse of gorgeous and engorging poetry reminds me of most. I love this book. (This review was written by Lo Galluccio for The Cambridge Alewife and the Ibbetson Press Review, July, 2005). Another review of Blood Cocoon by Angela Consolo Mankiewicz --“These poems are highly charged erotic dreamworks written over many years...and invoking Brazil, Chicago, L.A., Prague, Arizona and beyond...it’s difficult to know what’s real and what isn’t in Blood Cocoon; what happened in fact and what in fantasy, and you really don’t care -- what matters of the poems themselves, that they exist for your good pleasure and thoughtful consideration.” (Small Press Review, May-June, 2005). Another review of Blood Cocoon: “The poems in Blood Cocoon will amaze in their complexity and overwhelm in their content...[Connie Fox’s] writing will seduce and at times bring about comparisons with poet Patti Smith and experimental novelist Kathy Acker. But don’t let yourself be fooled, for Fox has her own distinct and original style wich reaches deep into the psyche....Connie Fox is an intelligent, thoughtful writer who can snap your spine with a whisper.” (Rattlesnake Review, #7, Fall, 2005, reviewed by B.L. Kennedy). |
