Incredible!

Goddamnit, J. A. Carter-Winwardâs poetry is good. Itâs really good. In fact, Iâd go as far as to say her poetry is the very best contemporary verse thatâs out there. But itâs not for everyone. Nope, itâs definitely not for everyone. And thatâs partly what makes it the best out there.

Her writing is raw, honest, confessional, humorous, stripped back and stripped bare, and the unique simplicity of Carter-Winwardâs words perfectly matches the themes presented.

Sex. Thereâs lots of sex. Not the sort of sexual musings youâll read about in other poetry collections. No, no, no. Carter-Winward doesnât hold back anything and sheâs happy to share the most personal anecdotes, thoughts and feelings. I mean, where else will you read a poem about a bleeding vaginal cut from rough sex?

Itâs not all sex though. Itâs just that sex plays a dominant part in Carter-Winwardâs life â alongside other themes like relationships, life lessons, non-conformity, art, Feminism, anger at a God she doesnât believe in, and a lot more besides.

âmy poetry/is like my own/personal/speculum./you can either handle/looking inside me,/or you canât.â

Another stunning collection

Another fine collection by the amazing Queen Mother c**t.

The last book I read by the QMC was "No Apologies" a very angry collection, no holds barred, it was really in your face. No Secrets is calmer, it reads like you have sat down for a coffee with her and she is telling you stories from her life, from abusive husbands, sexual conquests, children and religion to some very moving poems about her mum. I don't think there is a single weak poem in the lot, every single one gets a response from the reader.

The first highlight was called "Sign" angry frustration about people who over-share their personal life details when you're trapped with them in an elevator.

Then "Black and White" shows a different side of the author, standing up for a girl who had made a mistake that she would be stuck with for a long time.

Any cat owner will understand "Executer", probably the funniest one in the book.

The best line was in "Gender-Bender", I think it explains perfectly the sort of poems you'll find when you pick up this book...."I write like a woman who isn't afraid." Brilliance!

When I was reaching the end of the book, I read it as slowly as I could so it wouldn't end, I was thinking to myself this book is so good, what sort of poem could you end this with? It's gotta have a real kick-ass feel to it and the QMC nailed it. two lines, one more laugh and it was all over. Perfect.

If you've never read a single poem by J.A. Carter-Winward then give this collection a go, you'll be hooked.

One of the top 3 poets in the United States

J.A. Carter-Winward is one of the best poets working in America today. The poems in "No Secrets" are by turns angry, witty, acerbic, bluntly honest. This is poetry with guts, heart, and a whole lot of soul.
