1996

Critical Praise for Twin Souls
“The poems in Twin Souls celebrates the intimacies
of passion, the small deaths of parting—intimations of mortality—set
against a varied landscape, full of the particulars of a specific
place and a lived life. At once traditional in their delineation
of the time-honoured occasions of love, and contemporary in their
intensities and uncertainties, these poems bring the conventions
of love poetry into the contemporary.”
Jean Mallinson, Ph.D., West Vancouver, B.C.

Reviews |
| She draws on her study of mythology, astrology, and
Jungian psychology, for a seemingly inexhaustible source of imagery. |
| |
Interviews |
| There is a quality in her work which makes all her
poems hers, but Zonailo’s style does differ. Compendium
is a collection of short, lyrical poetry; Zone 5 of prose. Each
book is an extension of her poetic exploration and a separate expression.

Articles |
| Over the years of sitting in Grant's Cafe or the Europa
and talking poetry with Lewis Gretsinger, the questions have been asked:
why write? what are you saying? what are your poetics? |
