In her stunning twelfth poetry collection, Lightning Falls in Love , Laura Kasischke makes magic with a complex alchemy of nostalgia and fire, birdwing and sorrow.
She currently teaches at the University of Michigan..
About author(s): Raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and currently living in Chelsea, Michigan with her family, Laura Kasischke has written eleven collections of poetry and seven novels, among them Space, in Chains, a National Book Critics Circle Award winner.
Kasischke has found an entirely new way to spin beauty and pull breath from that which must be dredged up and revived before it can be left behind.
This is poetry that is existential in scope but grounded in the body, surreal yet suburban, reaching for clarity just beyond the fog of the day-to-day.
In new poems that search the murky lake for news of the past, she evokes unsayable trauma and gleans possibility.
