“Claire normally keeps her work close to home, but with this first collection of poems published by Finishing Line Press, Claire gives readers a glimpse into the personal, sometimes playful, always poignant experience of being a dancer, mother, twin, lesbian, lover of nature, and how all these places are felt through the changing mysteries of the body. These poems shape the visceral musicality of language and emotion into universal felt experience, and leave a resonant echo long after the poems end.

Claire Drucker has published poems in numerous journals, such as Phoebe, Controlled Burn, Diner, Epiphany, Puerto del Sol, Eclipse and the Women’s Artist Datebook. Her first chapbook, Vortex, was published in 2008. Claire is a longtime English instructor at Santa Rosa Junior.”
