Coleman’s courageous, impassioned voice, defiantly affirming itself in the face of social injustice and institutional dehumanization, rings out clearer than ever in her new book, Mercurochrome. So does her sensuous, vivid, tactile “verbal mandala”: loveas i live it seems more like mercurochromethan anything elsei can conjure up. it looks so pretty and red,and smells of a balmycoolness when you uncap the little applicator.but swab it on anopen sore and you nearly die under the stabbingburn. recoveryleaves a vague tenderness… These high-energy, incandescent poems turn up the emotional thermostat, sizzling and shooting off sparks.
