Pam Anderson is a poet whose work, with one foot firmly planted in Northeast Ohio and the other in Charlotte, North Carolina, often focuses on the Holocaust and Czechoslovakia from 1938-1945. As the first college graduate in her family, she brings a deep personal insight and intellectual fervor to her poetry. Her verses explore the complexities of history and the human experience with a unique sensitivity and incisiveness. Her work stands as a testament to the power of memory and the resilience of the spirit in the face of unimaginable hardship.
"In The Galloping Garbage Truck, Pamela Anderson uses a light touch on such weighty topics as diversity and difference, self-affirmation, feminism, healthy lifestyle choices (kale salad!), optimism and resilience, and (not) judging by appearance. Anderson’s love of language fills the pages and culminates with a glossary of words (barnacle, caterwaul, perambulate). Kids and parents will enjoy these imaginative rhymes and diminutive stories that are sure to spark good conversations" -- Back cover
