AESTHETICA MAGAZINE review
The Consequence of Wings
Annette Marie Hyder
Foothills Publishing, ISBN#0-941053-72-5 The Consequence of Wings offers an immediate visual delight; neat and striking in crisp azure and white, with an exquisite angel, delicately juxtaposed over various dictionary definitions of flight. Content wise; there is flight and fancy, themes of story-chasing, winged aspirations, hopes and pert observations, effusing a whimsical quality and wonderful airiness. Many theological allusions indicate a desire to share beautiful perceptions with softly angelic zeal. The poet exhibits a preoccupation with how others think about her, which elicits copious self-explanation and sensitively informs us of a winsome purpose. In summary: sprightly, prim, quirky and lovely. -- Review By Mark Cosens, for Aesthetica Magazine the United Kingdom's premiere arts and literature glossy magazine.
