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 factory and various manual labor, and in 1977 moved west to work in a poverty program after graduation. Shes has lived near Los Angeles since 1986, and teaches in the Liberal Studies department at California State Polytechnic University.
