Another Creature

Finalist, Miller Williams Poetry Prize In Another Creature Pamela Gemin reconciles her generation's impulse toward personal freedom with its costs as she moves her cast of innocents and outlaws through Midwestern landscapes embroidered with green lawns, blue lakes and raspberry patches eerily wired for sound. Hers are hungry poems, in and of the world, expounding the "flavors and hues, the fragrance and skin / of the merchandise of Earth."
