From her poem "The Unveiling" she looks at the age old question "Dare dream on - - face the dawn / Challenge swells of angry sea? Should I / Solve the mystery ". She moves from that prototypic question to her poem entitled "FITTING IN" where she prompts us to look at more issues of self doubt with these words. "I wear them loose / and you say tight is right, / teal is the shade / hell ~~ I’ll never get it right!"
As you can see, Mair’s poetry plucks at the same romantic harp strings that have pulled at us all. From her poem "Bite the Bullet" you will wonder if she over heard you scream the words that opened this review. "I don't understand, I can't understand , I'll never understand and I won't understand".
Thank you Charlotte Mair, for articulating what we have all felt at different times in our lives. I applaud her publisher Kedco Studios for taking a risk on an unknown Canadian poet, that is managing to write and get published, while the rest of us sit on our duffs and curse the system that somehow manages to keep us out.

"I don't understand, I can't understand , I'll never understand and I won't understand".
Charlotte Mair’s, often romantic and somewhat modernized neo-classical style ......
