Alumna Reviews New Quarterly’s Mixed Contents
The reader comments on Nina and Nanny in Cinderella with a first hand touch while Miss Littleminn charms in simple narration. Cinderella contrasts with Miss Littleminn in style. The Eel in the Bathtub satiric prose and the Poeish Cir cumstances display clever atmosphere and cryptic syntax. Opposite Tides notes an interesting point briefly. Atlas offers an inventive end of world line with a fault. The poems, brief yet pointed, reflect present reality. Overall the quarterly shows varied quality and a sense of progress beyond earlier decades.
