Except by Nature
"Whether immersed in the exotic claustrophobia and sexual edginess of a Louisiana bayou or smelling again the sweat of workers in her father's garage, or remembering an aunt's passion for extravagant hats . . . Sandra Alcosser always gives us poems vivid with what she calls 'the tangible feel / of being alive.' EXCEPT BY NATURE is an exceptional feisty, accomplished, and mature, its poems brim with serious delights".--Eamon Grennan.

A Montana local! Sensual poetry that is grounded in the natural world. Expressive and at times visceral writing with a few fantastic individuals poems.

One of my first teachers and still one of my favorite voices. "Flame," "The Jittering World," the frightening "Taboo" are so intensely felt and visceral. There's really not anyone like her.
