Summary: Wonderful Woman Writer
Review: Her work is great and her life interesting. This is a terrific book for anyone interested in writing and it also shows how all of us need to come to terms with our lives. Poems, letters, interviews, photographs. Good for book groups (or schools) with a built-in discussion guide. It's very affordable too.

Summary: Lorine Niedecker: an Emily Dickenson for the 21st Century
Review: John Lehman's book illuminates Lorine for you: her life, her friends, her loves, her work... I'd never heard of Lorine Niedecker. I knew Pound, Joyce, Eliot, Ginsberg, Woolf, Plath, Williams, etc. But no Niedecker. Niedecker: five line poems that shine. Not a word wasted. Less is more. The poems: funny, sad, filled with birds, trees, Thomas Jefferson, and water near by. She can illuminate life with five lines. Life's bits of knowledge learned from the Great Depression or as a cleaning woman in a hospital or historical research... Some family and friends didn't even know she wrote. Now we all know. So thanks to John Lehman for shouting in the desert about America's Greatest Unknown Poet: Lorine Niedecker. Read Niedecker: Collected Works.
