Desire

by Lyn Lifshin

available from World Parade Books, __ pages, softcover, $13.95

“The combination of eros, ebullience and triste, or sadness…she reminds me of the ancient Greek poet Anacreon.”

Ed Sanders

“Here she is! Might as well stop fighting it. Lifshin is not going to go away. For men, she’s sexy. For women, she’s an archetype of gutsy independence. As a poet, she’s nobody but herself—frighteningly prolific and utterly intense. One of a kind.”
