Aliens and Strangers Mary Ann Goodwin

The poems in Alien and Strangers speak of the pitfalls and foibles as well as the joys discovered by individuals as they seek to find "a country of their own." They have a variety of voices and styles--lyrical, metaphorical, imaginative, narrative--expressed primarily in free verse but occasionally in a set form. They address the quandaries and realizations in both the cultural and psychological well as in the search for a relationship with the spiritual.
