Description

Poetry. AS IF THE WORLD MADE SENSE are new poems by Maude Meehan, poet, editor, lecturer and lifelong activist. Dubbed Poet Laureate of Santa Cruz, California, Maude has been writing poetry only since she was 55. Her last book of selected poems, WASHING THE STONES (1997, Papier-Mache) received high acclaim and set in motion this publication for her 84th year. "Read Maude Meehan's new poems and your head will spin. Travel with her through landscapes that are lush 'taut with desire' and harsh 'empty space as tangible as touch'. Read her and find what your life has been missing-an awareness sharp and poignant. These poems are a blessing" -Patrice Vecchione, author of WRITING AND THE SPIRITUAL LIFE.
