Pam lives on the California Central Coast./p hr/ p "Reading Pam O'Shaughnessy, one quickly discovers an erudite, intelligent, thoughtful, and funny-yes-funny poet... this is a dark and absurdist humor, rooted firmly in the Surrealist feeling of juxtaposition, an unreality rooted in the real, and many of the poems deal with power and control-the ability or inability of the subjects (most of the poems deal with characters) to affect their world…, She is a poet who has found the beauty, humor, and pathos in the world and is able to convert it into eminently readable-and enjoyable-poetry." -Brendan McEntee, Triggerfish Critical Review/p
