"Lydia's life is a long cultivation of the absurd, the rude and what was once called the deviant, more commonly referred to nowadays as the crackpot. She's worth reading if only for the relief one feels after the book slips from the hands. Ultimately the girl is a lot of fun if you take her seriously as she expects you to." Daniel Sloate.

This volume brings together all the poems Daniel Sloate has written to date. A poet and translator, Daniel Sloate was a Professor in Linguistics at Universit de Montreal and Director of the Translation Program at McGill University.

"This collection of one-act plays was... written with small budgets and small casts in mind. The scenery is simple or non-existent... The title... seemed appropriate in the sense that the characters are all multiple facets of one or two characters, seen from different angles in distorting mirrors, who are almost human and who pass through various metamorphoses to end in a surreal universe where insects hold sway. the "I" is shredded, disintegrated into "another", the I's reverse image." -- Back cover.
