Defiance Street: Poems and other writing

By Sandra Kleven

Poetry. Fiction. Literary Nonfiction. Women's Studies. With editorial assistance from E.A. "Tony" Mares. "Sandra Kleven walks a path of beautiful grit and hard honesty that remains uncompromising throughout. In poems like, 'Lament for Scott' and 'As She Waits for Word on Her Biopsy, ' she gnaws her thoughts on aging to the bone with confessions borne of a poet's long consideration. Kleven's prose pieces are wall-to-wall poems. She speaks of the famous Blue Moon tavern, of the birth of the second half of the 20th century, and of Theodore Roethke better than he ever did. Bottom line? When I read Sandra Kleven's lines, 'She went after boys who looked like Jesus, / sandaled, contemplative, guys with that / crucified look, ' I knew I'd need to say little else about Defiance Street besides: You must give this book a chance."
