Boats for Women from Salmon Poetry, March 2019
"Silence. Disaster. Desire. Hope. These cardinal directions navigated by Sandra Yannone’s Boats for Women plot intersections and transgressions of the personal and historical like a cartographer drafting a nautical chart. Utilizing a range of free verse and traditional forms, Yannone’s poems transmit distress calls from the decks of R.M.S. Titanic and other maritime disasters; they channel Bess Houdini's crossover into the modern world; and they document how women discover and recover from the intimacies of loving each other through time. Divided into four sections, Boats for Women amplifies and survives the split-second when the everyday turns into catastrophe; the moment of impact when knowing and unknowing collide; the fusion of before and after. And after that. All constellate here in Yannone’s first full-length collection to orient us toward that “choice/ to turn toward a sacred face, a turn//toward your own longing to live.”
