The Coat Is Thin

The Coat is Thin, a collection of highly descriptive poems, comprises lyrical meditations, narratives, dramatic monologues, and verse essays."Always respectful of history and mindful of the moment, the poet speaks in language that is precise, rich in imagery and resonant. This collection will reward every re-reading," observes Sarah Klassen. Patricia Henley reports that the poems "make me weep for the woman I once was among the fir and cottonwoods, the stars west of Williams Lake, my immigrant kin. Read them and prepare to be 'seized by joy.'"
