In The Other Side of Demure, Colbert explores the nuances of relationships, the flavors of experience, and the second and third dimensions of the everyday worlds in which we live. Travel with her to laundry rooms rich with nostalgia, exotic vacations full of epiphany, and mundane locales - like low-rent apartments, suburban beaches and local sports bars - that offer unexpected lessons and unforetold beauty. Heralded as "intellectual, visceral, and sensous," this thoughtful and poignant collection of poetry will resonate with poetry-lovers and poetry-novices alike.
