Light-Years Away: (The Art of Psychic Distance)

"Light-Years Away" is a compilation of poetry that spans forms and topics alike. From Shakespeare and Mendelssohn to Nirvana and Nature, this book has it all. Stout is a Poet's Poet, with a lyrical voice that mimics much of the musical compositions that inspire her work. Each poem feels like a dance with Time, and the lingering longing that is a partner to its passing. Her celestial tongue complements her terrestrial melancholy in poems that call you back to be read again and again.
