About Kaleidoscope by Beate Sigriddaughter
Beate Sigriddaughter’s new collection of prose poems, Kaleidoscope (Cholla Needles, 2021), is a procession of shifting visions, sometimes dazzling, oftentimes moody, and always unpredictable. The poems, written in third person, are reflections of an unnamed woman on abstract themes that quickly get anchored in tangible reality and just as quickly revert back to enigmatic impressions. Toggling between anguish and delight, insecurity and confidence, these poems speak to much of the current human condition as experienced on the defenseless personal level.
