Lisa’s first review of the year
really liked it
Such an interesting approach to memoir, even if I'm not familiar with a lot of the French current history/politics/pop culture she discusses. But situating oneself in the news stream to examine a life feels so much like the way people think but don't always write, which was cool. You can tell it wasn't an American account because she barely ever mentions work.

Lisa’s last review of the year
it was amazing
Lovely—multilayered and complex, but always with a way in to the heart of each poem. Musings on on interacting with art/dance/music, on loss, on age, on parenting an almost-grown child—sophisticated, knockout imagery, lurking empathy, and inventive, fun-to-read-out-loud language.
