Trace Elements

By Lori Lamothe

Lamothe's Trace Elements is an extraordinary debut. These poems turn on images both astonishing and enlightening; and it's clear the mind behind them is intelligent, sophisticated, and complex. I really love this new voice! It arises from the kind of making that sticks, that enters readers and changes them. Listen, Lamothe's the real thing: when she sings her sweetest, she is ruthless. -Renee Ashley, author of Because I Am the Shore I Want to Be the Sea Lori Lamothe's newest collection, Trace Elements, pokes, prods, smooches, hugs and pinches the reader with well-crafted surrealistic and manic energy, in a unique and honestly profound accessible way. Throughout Trace Elements Lamothe's deft hand not only dissects reality with concise imagery but paints a beautiful portrait of what it means to be human, and the unshakable strength that comes with experience and insight. -Ariana D. Den Bleyker, author of Wayward Lines and Strangest SeaLori Lamothe gives us glimpses, snapshots that flow, reveal and sometimes even shock. -Leah Maines, author of Beyond the River
