1) MINAGO STREETS
Selected poetry
By Donna Allard
"After reading your poems
I feel like maybe I should kiss
a cod, grab a beer, have sex
and follow it up with a
cigarette!”...
Literary Review by Rhonda Wicks (Eller),
Canadian Poet, Freelance Artist,
Journalist, and Cartoonist
"MINAGO Streets was a joy to read.
Donna Allard's talented hand blends
maritime culture with global concepts
and social issues with personal ones
as she observes with neutrality yet,
all the while, remaining involved. The
reader is drawn in with an ability to
relate to each piece in some way. Of
particular interest for me was how
Donna artistically manipulates the
structure of "MINAGO" to accurately
represent its topic of family life and
death as a combination of poetry and
prose. Delightful!"
