Resumo:
"Only More So is one of the most impressive and memorable collections I've read this year. . .Readers will find much to praise in this cohesive collection of strong narrative poems. Accardi's are honest words, and with them she displays a profound understanding of women's inner strength and needs. The clarity she achieves makes her poetry highly readable, and her intuitive sense of sound and cadence, of knowing just when to break a line for effect, of crafting concluding lines that tend to reverberate in the mind offer evidence of her mastery of craft."--Writing Without Paper.

21st Century Poetry

When one first picks up a copy of Only More So, the new collection of poetry by Millicent Borges Accardi from Salmon Poetry in Ireland, there is an overwhelming expectation that delicacy is about to mingle with honesty, resulting in some magnificent looking words as the children from that union. With that to hold on to, as well as the book’s surprisingly magnetic artwork, the reader is immediately hit with an understanding that Ms. Borges Accardi is not new to the challenges that contemporary poetry serves up.
These are the poems of a person fully engaged in the 21st Century and all of its endless dramas, sometimes political in nature, sometimes personal, but always maintaining a sense of true ancestral history. Surprisingly, some of Ms. Borges Accardi’s power as a poet comes when these two approaches meet head on, as in the delicious poem “The World in 2001.” It is certainly true that, for those of us who were cognitively aware and physically a part of that time, the year alone is enough to conjure great sadness and regret. However, here, Ms. Borges Accardi masterfully includes the unexpected from that time, along with the obvious examples of things related, directly or indirectly, to 9/11. The resulting bond that occurs between reader and word is both human and humane at once.
