The Deep Heart's Core is a Suitcase (New Issues Press Poetry)

By Lisa Fishman

"The shape-shifting realms of longing are fitful setting for local genius. But here, in Lisa Fishman's beautiful first collection of poems, is where for the love of the world we find ourselves. As a reader, I could say I see in these poems a devotion approaching to love, if love ever stayed still enough to take a linguistic reading of. The poet sees much more, though. There's possibly no harder stance for the young poet to take up than one of love and longing. . ."
--William Olsen, from the foreword

The Deep Heart's Core is a Suitcase

Lee's poems shatter the growing pain of unanticipated and unforeseen heartbreak with the same ease and grace of a shot of rumplemintz rinsing away a case of the mondays.I have earned much respect and friendship with her through the delightful game of poetry.
