Poetry. Deborah Meadows' fourth collection is a rigorous and spellbinding series of poems: innovative, experimental, and featuring such unexpected collisions as Luce Irigaray & Gilles Deleuze encountering Zen philosophy. "When rain falls on the lake,/ it's hard to distinguish edges./ But the lake/ is not the whole world." Deborah Meadows grew up in Buffalo, NY in a working-class family, attended SUNY, Buffalo, worked in a factory and in various manual laboring jobs, and in 1977 moved west to work in a poverty program after graduation. She now teaches in the Liberal Studies Department at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Her recent publications include two collections of poetry from Green Integer: REPRESENTING ABSENCE and THIN GLOVES.
