With stark dignity and intense fear, these poems cross into a realm where nightmares wrestle with dreams, death by devouring is a way station, and the underworld becomes a tourist destination. In the midst of this darkness, Jeffs's leavening sense of humor peoples her descent with the sirens of the supermarket, a high-tech, technicolor Armageddon, and a modern Cerberus with three heads: Ken, Barbie, and Ronald McDoSchizophreniaPoetryElectronic books.Schizophrenia821.3A821.3Jeffs Sandy1953-862247MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454224403321The wings of angels2143113UNINA
