Product Description
Poetry Book Society Recommendation. The Shuttered Eye begins with several searing poems on marital break-up. Plath (for whom there is an elegy in this volume) has evidently been Copus' guide into the labyrinths of the Electra complex, but she is quite as much her own woman as her distinctive Daddy is his own man". -- Poetry Book Society Bulletin. Julia Copus received a major Eric Gregory Award in.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A surprisingly mature first book., 15 Oct 1998
By Christopher Waldrop - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Shuttered Eye (Paperback)
Julia Copus' obvious influence is Sylvia Plath, to whom she even dedicates one of her poems. Like Plath, her poems have a subtle structure that holds back the rage, although sometimes it still escapes. Copus has obviously lived a life in an airless, repressed atmosphere where "Violence bangs round her" ("The Smallest Room"). Time and distance have given her release, but also regret, as when she says, "I wanted...to tell you that we nearly touched./We left before I had time." This book ends all too soon. Copus is not only a mature voice, but an original one as well. I look forward to her future work.
