Poetry. The poetry editor of the respected experimental journal 3RD BED, has written a book as daring and contemporary as any. BRIGHT TURQUISE UMBRELLA turns on an incident of father-daughter incest but its focus is on the power of that experience to disrupt the linear and physical world, replacing it with one of dream logic in the lyrical, enchanting and surprisingly powerful mode of magical realism. Hermine Meinhard has been poetry editor of 3RD BED for four years.
