Electrifying, a shock to the system!,
By John Birkbeck (Iowa City, IA , USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cold Comfort: Selected Poems 1970-1996 (Paperback)
Reading Lyn's poems gets the mind set to a beat which whirls into a crescendo of image and sound combined into a different force if their own. Her poems are terse and no-nonsense; she does not play around. Her short lines and minimal use of punctuation, and sometimes leaving out a word, allows the reader's own imagination to fill in the blanks-- which are not really blanks, but blind spots which the mind and eye must pick up ensemble. Sometimes, when I read her poems, I feel that I've ridden a whirlwing to a far-off but familliar place. You gotta read this book!

THE DOYENNE DOES IT AGAIN!,
By Doug Holder (Cambridge, MA.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cold Comfort: Selected Poems 1970-1996 (Paperback)
I picked up Lifshin's book at a bookstore in Portsmouth, NH., didn't put it down for awhile. Where else can you get a book that deals with love, life and death so beautifully. Her work inspires me to do better as a writer and a poet.
