Reviewers Reviewed

About this book

This satirical text was a response to the drubbing the fledgling poet received at the hands of the critics to her debut work, “Pelayo, or the Cavern of Covadonga.” The poem stages a humorous trial of her reviewers, lambasting them as pitilessly for their shortcomings as she believed she was called out for hers. Ironically, “Reviewers Reviewed” received many positive notices from critics who found her portraits of their peers hilariously creative and mercilessly on target. - Summary by Kelly Taylor
