Summary: READABLE POETRY...
Review: At last a poetry book I can read that speaks to my experiences. Thank you Sandy for breaking the silence! on a topic that is widespread but noone ever talks about it. This books invites you into the harrowing world of domestic violence and alcholism with poetry that is both accessible and evocative.

Summary: FROM THE CRADLE
Review: Sandy Jeffs depicts the terrible, violent relationship between her parents and ts effect on her. Jeffs uses the second person to address the dead, as when she tells her father: 'Years of your blistering anger/has severed her senses from life's delights' in 'Farewell Old Bastard'...Jeff's poems about her mother express symathy and empathy, as in 'Mavis's Song': 'Her songs burst forth as though/her life depended on them'. Whilst Jeffs diction is not always inventive, her spacing, timing and self editing are superb, creating disciplined intensity which many readers will find impressive and cathartic, reinforced by the work's wider social dimensions. - Jennifer Maiden, Australian Book Review

Summary: Brilliance
Review: Sandy's writing takes you to a place you'd usually rather not even visit!!! She shines her beacon through the darkest recesses of the illness she combats daily. Sandy you are a truly awesome person....in the real sense of that word.
