Dear, Read

Author: Lisa Fishman

Publisher: Ahsahta Press (2002) 

"Lisa Fishman writes with an impeccable sense of cadence, of words as sounds too, of physical fact becoming thought and then recurring as poetry."

–Robert Creeley

"These spare, delicately packed lyrics call up the traditions of Dickinson, Niedecker, and Riding, and join the varieties of women's experimental writing of the last two decades."

–Brenda Hillman

"Fishman's poems, elliptical, spiraling, sound the mystery of ordinary things, a torn screen door.to test the undisclosed meanings of both language and landscape."

–Michael Palmer
