A review by ccwingreads
River Woman by Katherena Vermette

3.75

Overall, I thought the last half of the collection affected me more than the first. The first half had shorter lines and shorter poems. I think I prefer either longer poems or ones that use a lot of imagery and alliteration to evoke emotions. The last half did this really well. My favourites were this river, for the Red River, and new year's eve 2013. These poems honour the rivers as a woman with her many stories, experiences, power, and beauty.
