Featured Work
Interrogation of Morning
Lisa C. Taylor's new book of poems is a stellar marriage of close observation and an energetic imagination. Taylor maps out a territory of beginnings and elegies, of questions and paradoxes. (Annie Deppe)
This newest collection creates and bravely explores the boundaries between predator and prey, between warning and transformation. Taylor's poems carve images from a chaotic world. (David Morse)
