Description

Red Shoes in the Rain is Jan E. Conn's first published collection of poems, though her work has appeared regularly in magazines. Her poetry is characterized by the meticulous observation of a scientist, fired by intense human engagement; it reflects the range and variety of her travels without ever descending to mere notation.
