Desire Lines ------------------,
By
This review is from: Desire Lines: New and Selected Poems (American Poets Continuum) (Paperback)
Lola Haskins' poetry intrigues and startles, turning appearances inside out with elegant and unflinching grace. I have always loved her work, have read her for years.....and yet, on reading her new poems in Desire Lines, feel an excitement akin to discovering a new and essential voice, one that is profound, deeply haunting, and artistically exquisite. This is a book for the long journey....for where the road turns....
5.0 out of 5 stars
The Past Comes Alive,
By B. Funke "poeteacher" (Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Desire Lines: New and Selected Poems (American Poets Continuum) (Paperback)
In a voice like that of the actor who does not merely act but is, Lola Haskins does not merely speak in her poems but becomes the persona inhabiting the piece. Smoothly she transports the reader into the heart of the past where he or she beholds and feels exquisite moments of joy and aching. The breadth of her knowledge in the languages of music, art, history and heartache are astounding.
