Poetry. "Lisa Fishman writes with an impeccable sense of cadence, of words as sounds too, of physical fact becoming thought and then recurring as poetry" - Robert Creeley. "These spare, delicately packed lyrics call up the traditions of Dickinson, Niedecker, and Riding, and join the varieties of women's experimental writing of the last two decades" - Brenda Hillman. "Fishman's poems, elliptical, spiraling, sound the mystery of ordinary things, a torn screen door.to test the undisclosed meanings of both language and landscape" - Michael Palmer.
