Poetry. "These poems range throughout the western United States, picking up impressions of mountains, forests, seacoasts and plains, as well as the edgy glitz of Las Vegas, weaving them into the biography of a new sensibility"-William Tremblay. "Kande St. Germain's CLOSET DRAMA is poetry that's unconditionally meant to be read.With unblinking vision, she tracks her forebears' and her own migrations through geography and relationships"-Carole Oles. "Absence trills down these pecan-lined streets/ while I lie in bed listening to my neighbor hammer,/ feeling the swing in my own wrist,/ the aim and jolt of working with my hands"- (from Distance).
