DESCRIPTION

Poetry. THE LILY POEMS are love poems for an adopted daughter, a tribute to hope and to family. Liz Rosenberg’s work has appeared in The New Yorker, Best American Poems, The Atlantic Monthly, The Paris Review, Poetry, APR and elsewhere. Robert Creeley wrote, “Liz Rosenberg is clearly a poet of great distinction in her generation” and the New York Times praised her for being “eager to jump into experience with the innocence of an enthusiast and the vulnerability of a lover.” In THE LILY POEMS she celebrates the exasperation and exhilaration of parenting: “It’s a party always going on in this room without drinks or gossip, / without dips, or introductions. In her bedroom / there is only one chair, which we two share.”
