Bøger af Lisa Brognano

Lisa Brognano's poetry is the vocal expression of those most beautiful things. Seemingly simple and familiar experiences and observations from everyday life come unannounced from Lisa's own memories and take a reader by the throat. As serious poems do. And although the experiences are completely hers, we are struck by some universal truths that she so inconspicuously reveals to us with such easiness and simplicity.-- Stevan V. Nikolic, Editor, Adelaide Literary Magazine

"Brognano populates the cosmos of these poems with a smattering of hard-luck characters, lovers attempting (sometimes successfully) to grasp fleeting moments of carnal gratification and transcendent connection, seekers with hints of transport in their eyes, and flora and fauna anthropomorphized intensely enough to suggest a panpsychist metaphysics. With an almost Dickensian gift for savagely ironic nomenclature and suggestions of a mischievous cosmic will that takes a little too much perverse delight in teaching humbling lessons, Brognano's poems offer us a lens through which the world feels richer, wilder, more unique, and wittier than it does to the naked eye"--
