The troubled relationship between our heroine and her family ultimately reveals the universal human tenderness and cruelty that places in high relief the ties that bind us with one another.”

Corridors
poems & short stories
Chusma House Publications
IBSN 1-891823-03-5
2001, 5.5″ x 8.5″, 86 pp., $11.95
“Reading this collection of poems is an exercise in creative altruism. One must let go, if for just a moment, of all existential pre-occupations and walk through the “Corridors” which Samantha Lê has littered with visions, memories, and sometimes optimistic, other times melancholic, musings on life’s everyday foibles. Lê’s combination of maturity and youthful exuberance are remarkable.”
