Report copyright infringementby Sandra Simonds (Author)"In Sandra Simonds' poetry, a terrific, nihilistic dislike of herself and others (her heroine 'dires' men) vies with an extreme will to prevail in full color.

We hear those echoes, sometimes loudly, but Quinn's just sampling. The song here is his own. Number of Pages: 78 Dimensions: 0...
