Before It's Light
This collection contains direct, sparse, largely autobiographical poems drawn from childhood, marriage, unsparing love affairs, and the struggle for self-sufficiency after the wreckage of bad relationships.
Another Woman who Looks Like Me
always women in the dark on porches talking as if in blackness their secrets would be safe --from "Champlain, Branbury, the lakes at night" Lyn Lifshin can make something memorable out of the most familiar words and scenes--something memorable, something fresh and entirely her own. Contents of this collection include Slippery Blisses, A Love of Blueness, Written on the Body of Night, Things Behind the SunDarkness in the Light.
A Girl Goes Into the Woods
Poetry. In her biggest, most varied selection of poems, A GIRL GOES INTO THE WOODS, Lyn Lifshin's intimate, intense, startling poems range from the adolescent experiences any young (or not so young) woman can identify with, to the roller coaster ride of agony to ecstasy of relationships. In her unique and magical way she explores the complicated, mysterious, ambivalent relationship between mothers and daughters, that constantly changing braid of pain and joy, of control and rebellion and then the reverse, as the daughter becomes the mother and the deaths of stages of the relationship continue. The book takes us into the immigrant experience, the ravages of Auschwitz, to Hiroshima, Vietnam, I...
Cold Comfort

Little Dancer--The Degas Poems
Little Dancer is a series of poems written about the "Little Dancer" sculpture of Marie Van Goethem by Degas. Lyn Lifshin celebrates the lives of the young and impoverished French female (ballet) dancers of the late 1800s.
#AliveLikeALoadedGun
Intense and charmingly erotic, this new volume from Lyn Lifshin explores female personas including Enheduanna and Leda's daughter. In this collection, Lifshin's 'barbaric yawp' asserts its independence once again. This series of poems claims unfamiliar territory for the" queen of the small presses". #AliveLikeALoadedGun is a stunning poetic journey brought to life by Transcendent Zero Press.
Persephone
Like the mythic Persephone, these poems move between worlds of wild light and onyx darkness. Abducted by Hades, Persephone was kept captive in the underworld until her mother, Demeter, consumed with rage and sorrow, refused to let anything live or bloom. Grudgingly, Hades released her but only after she tasted the pomegranate he offered, a fruit that kept her bound to him for three months of the year forever. These poems move between such ecstatic glimpses of love, sex, family and that underworld of pain, loss and dark coldness between parents and children, siblings, lovers and strangers. The blues and despair in her poems, immediate and powerful as the worlds of any woman who moves from darkness and cold into the green world of rebirth, light and flowers, highlights the combination of eros, ebullience and triste, or sadness, a Lifshin trademark.
