Product Description
Product Description
From tantalizing spins on fairy tales to perilous questions of gender and identity, misled never takes words at face value. Shifts in syntax and self mirror shifts in health and sexuality while humor, angst and eroticism become the backdrop in a passion play on words. A girl's first crush on a boy transforms into passionate lesbian dreams and encounters. An incomplete memory of a cliché ricochets off the familiar. A writer's contemplation of rewriting leads to a list of things you can rewrite . . . "You can rewrite the bus schedule / but you might just confuse yourself." Through it all, misled dances with equivocation and delights in the enchanting ways in which life and language mislead us all.

A choice pick for any poetry fan, Dec 9 2010
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Misled (Paperback)
The truth is easily turned to something more useful. "Misled" is a collection of poetry from Susan Holbrook reflecting the many elements that get twisted and lied about in life and the search for a bit of truth in one's life. Thoughtful and riveting verse, "Misled" is a choice pick for any poetry fan, done excellently in a long and flowing style that tells a fine narrative.

AWESOME!, Aug 11 2004
By K. Storie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Misled (Paperback)
This book of poetry is the first i've ever read for my own pleasure. It's hilarious, thought-provoking and just delightful without seeming stupid. I can relate to everything the poet goes through, and the experiments wtih form are great. There are poems, essays, paragraphs. Overall, an excellent book and i can't wait to read her next one!
Listmania!
