"In lines that remind me of the way William Carlos Williams insisted that only the imagination gives us access to reality, Lasky's poems evoke a practice of living, as bloody and awful and lovely as living can ever be."--Julia Bloch, Bitch "The beautiful thing about Lasky, in all her work, but particularly here, is her ability to create that same sense of earnestness, the sense that she is telling you a secret."--InDigest Magazine, InDigest Picks Go, brave and gentle reader, with Dorothea Lasky to the "purple motel / where the bird lives."

She lives in New York.
