Poetry. "In these lean, expansive, wonderful poems, language is a long nervous filament feeling along thought—Beckett or Woolf gone maximally internal and grand. A narrative of interiority, already multiple, already doubled against itself, now and now casting forth, seeking a firm connection to the outside, swept back tidally, resisting. A trenchant diagnosis of an un-ease constitutional and productive and common to all of us."—Catherine Wagner

Solid Objects

Poetry. In VICINITIES, her follow-up to HOW MANY MORE OF THEM ARE YOU? (Avec Books 1999, winner of the Norma Farber First Book Award), Lisa Lubasch illuminates a myriad of landscapes and narratives Jo"Lisa Lubasch's writing is animated by an intense longing, not a longing for wholeness or the self, not even necessarily for coherence, which she knows to be an insidious palliative. No, Lubasch's longing is deeper than any balm the world's surfaces can provide. As for precedents, one might think Holderlin and Artaud, Sappho and Joyce Mansour. But let me be clear: In the age of originality there is no one writing like Lisa Lubasch"--John Yau.

Poetry. "TO TELL THE LAMP offers more than "one way of redemption," inviting us tofollow its hypnotic and concatenating meditations, asking us to think forourselves about structures of time and nearness and the many ways we readyourselves in preparation for truly reading" ---Susan Stewart. "Lisa Lubasch's new writing often seems wryly aphoristic but the bits ofknowledge it articulates nonetheless emerge suddenly, the product not ofLubasch's wisdom but of her timing. She employs what Guy Debord calls'a technique of transient passage through varied ambiances,' allvoluntarily entered, and truly worth entering. I have found this bookutterly exhilarating in its daring and intelligence" ---Lyn Hejinian.
