Description

"I don't think anyone has any business writing poetry unless they have the ability to see the world in an entirely new way. Lucy Tiven has this, and then some. (Plus she's really funny.)" Juliet Escoria *** "Lucy Tiven's enticingly schizophrenic Dysplasia fjords the uncanny valley between eBay and the author's cervix like a friend you wish would never age. "I'm sorry / I spilled soup on your keyboard," she admits, but goddamn if it's not by 100% direly refreshing." Blake Butler *** "I like Lucy Tiven's poetry collection because there's a quote from Eileen Myles at the beginning and I've had a crush on Eileen Myles ever since I saw the Cool for You cover even though I'm not sure the woman on the cover is Eileen. Also, I like Lucy Tiven's poetry collection (I can't remember the title or the title was a word I didn't know or too long of a word or something) because Lucy seems smart and funny like me and the poems reference things I can relate to like where someone was when Michael Jackson died (having sex with 'you') and being in a sanitarium with Alice Cooper and because she titled a poem 'Cul-de-sac.' I just love the word 'Cul-de-sac' because it's so suburban." Elizabeth Ellen
