I recently discovered "Girl Trouble," the Substack newsletter from Diana Whitney, who is a poet, writer, writing coach, workshop leader, and all-around engaging commentator on subjects from mental health to Vermont to parenting, and much more.
So I was extra gratified by this mini-review of my new poetry book God in Her Ruffled Dress (What Books Press) in Girl Trouble's April 2024 issue, "Notes from Eclipse Season."
Here's the text as text, not image:
Singer-poet Lisa B rewrites the old prayers in her new collection, weaving feminism with Jewish mysticism in strange, musical, funny, sexy poems. "I'm...tired of the One Dad God," she writes, exploring shifting definitions of the divine while staying grounded in the body, its strengths and illness and need, its miraculous desires. Look no further for a deeply spiritual, feminist celebration in verse.
Wow! That series of initial adjectives may be an apt description not only of my new book but also of me.
Check out this issue of "Girl Trouble" here. From there, you can subscribe to either the free or paid version of the newsletter.
See links to purchase options for the book here (including ordering a signed, personalized copy directly from me).
