PAM GALLOWAY’S upcoming book, Passing Stranger is a memoir in poetry covering the years of her long marriage, the desire for children, issues of fertility and infertility, pregnancy and loss, motherhood ultimately achieved and eventually a divorce. Its themes will speak to all women who have experienced the joys and the tribulations of married life and motherhood in all their complexities. The interweaving of its story of divorce after many years of marriage reflects a new reality for many women of middle and past middle-age. Pam’s first book of poetry, Parallel Lines, was published in 2006. She collaborated with four other poets on the book Quintet: Themes and Variations (Ekstasis Editions, 1998). Her poems have also been published widely in literary magazines and anthologies and twice on the website of the Canadian Parliamentary Poet Laureate. Pam lives in Vancouver. She recently participated in the successful Han Shan Poetry Project (initiated by her Inanna partner, author Susan McCaslin) to save an endangered rainforest in Langley, BC.
