To the implacable presence of the collective past, Lisa Grunberger's poems adds the poignancy of a singular present continually slipping away, in poems that are pungent, often audacious, sometimes elegiac, laced with a sharp irony...Here, too, is exuberance, an appetite for life carried in the cadenced lines that, like a runner or a dancer, open the space their movement creates. These vibrant poems provide intimate access to the passionate consciousness of a contemporary urban woman, as her embodied, eloquent voice recovers the dead, engages our moment, and gives shape even to the unborn.
-Eleanor Wilner, MacArthur Award recipient, author of The Girl with Bees in Her Hair.
Lisa Grunberger gives us a perceptive eye in evocative poems in which an acute consciousness translates into perfect metaphors and surprising images. . . . These poems could only have been written by a woman, a woman deeply conscious of her condition even as her words soar beyond it. These are poems to be read and reread. I believe the years to come will bring us much more of worth from the author.
