A theatre audience sees only the drama and meaning of the performance on stage. The narrator of Kimmy Beach's second poetry collection, Alarum Within, has a different tale to tell - not only of backstage encounters with overwrought set designers and pushy stage mothers at a small college theatre, but of illness, addiction, and identity.
When the stage lights turn off, the drama doesn't stop.
Kimmy Beach is the author of four poetry collections: Nice Day for Murder: Poems for James Cagney, alarum within: theatre poems, fake Paul, and in Cars. She has an honours degree in English from the University of Alberta. Kimmy lives in Red Deer, Alberta with her husband.
