Listening to Winter by Molly Fisk
ISBN 0-9666691-3-4; $12.50
A rich and varied body of work from an accomplished poet, through which runs the dark thread of incest, a leavening humor, and the deep solace of the natural world. Delineated with sharp visual detail and emotional complexity, this book breaks new ground. It is sure to be noticed, talked about, and remembered.
"Molly Fisk has a calm, lucid, detached and lyric voice in which to recount childhood love and abuse, as well as passionate erotic encounters. These subjects will guarantee her a general audience, but the pure lyric voice is what will endear her to lovers of poetry. That voice will last a lifetime, long after the sensational aspects of her work have subsided." —Carolyn Kizer
"Molly Fisk's poems are forthright, painful, and loving. Hers is an unflinching vision, but steadfastly poetic. And this collection is a page-turner, one that combines the seizure of reality with joy and introspection. In her own words, 'the sturdy heart blesses its own reflection.'" —Diana O'Hehir

"This chorale book, with its three substantive and distinctive voices, is rich proof of the strength and variety of current poetry, and of poetry-born friendship as well. Drawn from widely differing lives which nonetheless come together in a web of shared concerns, these poems range from the elegiac to the unnerving to the celebratory. Page after page offers the thrilling lift of revelation—imaginative, sensuous and precise encounters with the real terrain of the human. This is a truly fine collection." —Jane Hirshfield
