Product Description
“Lisa Coffman is a major poet in the making. Imagine a voice that combines hear-of-American brooding like James Wright’s with a shaded elegance like Elizabeth Bishop’s. Imagine Whitman’s spirit somewhere in the vicinity. Imagine a love of small towns ringed by mountains, a shrewd ear for lonely folks’ dialogue, and a music that seems to pour out of your own life as you read these poems. Likely is a book brimming with surprises and beauty; some of the poems―’Rapture,’ ‘The Products of Hog,’ ‘The Graveyard’―left me breathless.”―Alicia Suskin Ostriker, Judge
Customer Reviews
I've been reading poetry for many, many years, and there are few books I admire as much as Lisa Coffman's "Likely." It remains one of my all-time favorites. Coffman never tries to impress in the hip-slick-cool style of so many poets trying to demonstrate how smart they are. She's too subtle for that, and too honest. "Likely" is a treasure, a pleasure, a book quietly ringing with the humility and authority of the very best poetry. I highly recommend it.
