Lilies Without

Lilies Without is Laura Kasischke’s seventh volume of poetry. Widely admired for her startling use of metaphor and nervy, surprising syntax, she peels back the skins of our ordinary lives to reveal underlying anxieties and complexities. Funny, irreverent, personal, and at the same time unnerving, these poems take us to familiar places made entirely strange so that we may see them again as they really are, without the disguises we invent so as to remain blind to what disturbs us.
