For and Against
Autor Sharon McCartneyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 apr 2010
Heart-corroding sex with a tin woodman. A foundering marriage like a cat on the brink of death that still manages to purr. Sharon McCartney's visceral exploration of relationships — how they begin and end, the tenuous threads that hold people together, and the events that can tear them apart — is unstinting, eyes-wide-open aware. Beginnings, endings, transitions: none elude the sometimes sardonic but always sinuous language of these finely wrought poems.

Recenzii
It's got legs. It's got teeth. It shoots from the hip and hooks hard. McCartney's femininity is rancorous, carnal; her style breathless and breath-taking.For and Against is her visceral exploration of relationships — how they begin and end, the tenuous threads that hold people together, the events that tear them apart. Fluctuating from moments of absolute rawness and intimate retrospection to life-affirming joy, McCartney refuses to succumb. There's no sad pining here — love is brief and to be treasured, and its only real province is memory.
"McCartney is tough. She doesn't feel the obligation to rise above a heart-wrenching experience, to find a bright side, or to soften her bitterness... These are poems for feeling bad and liking it; not for regretting the vile things you've said and done, but for regretting that you now, alas, know better than to say or do them."
"McCartney has shown a delightful felicity in previous books with stapling phrases into the memory. For and Against expands this strength with different material, and it's a testament to her talent that rawness isn't diminished by an attention to fluency."
"You don't read these poems, you feel them: hammer in the head, shod foot on the throat, stiletto in the heart. It's those combos of wild, piercing insights (or unusual but poignant images); yep, that's what makes it good for you — or kills you, laughing."
"Darkly obsessive, For and Against documents the rolling flux of life — the raw wounds of relationships in moments that are, in turn, anguished, edgy, droll, and affectionate. McCartney's poems are an extreme sport — one well worth playing."
