In Meg Johnson's second full length poetry collection, 'The Crimes of Clara Turlington', women break the rules and pass for good girls. As the poem Slugger reveals, I could never be / a suspect, cardigan / and pink lips. Clara Turlington and her contemporaries are contradictions, both trouble-making thrill seekers and faultless products of their environment. ... I didn't know / my mind would become a neon / death scene ... (Ex's Exit). Scandalous, yet heartfelt, The Crimes of Clara Turlington, is indeed a furry pink pillow full of blood and teeth. | The Crimes of Clara Turlington by Meg Johnson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
