    a stranger in a strange land speaks of loneliness, longing and love; of broken dreams, deep faith and family ties. judy croome’s poetry — stark and complex, profound and brutal — explores cats and cancer; race and gender; nature, technology and being vegetarian. this volume of poetry deals with challenging themes, but also contains an acceptance of life’s ups-and-downs as well as the promise of a soul-restoring peace.

      Another stunning volume from Ms. Croome. These poems are vivid and absorbing and deliver a punch that will make you see, make you feel, make you understand even when you don't want to, but there's a good balance, enough to soothe your soul along the way. What I love about Ms. Croome's poetry is the beautiful written prose with bared intensity that doesn't shy from harsh realities and experiences. I always come out from the other side feeling slightly shattered and a lot more awake to my world and the people I share it with.
