Review "With candor, power, and poignancy, Suzanne Lummis illuminates the glorious absurdities of our lives, especially the pride and paranoia that arise from living in an urban landscape. Nobody can ride a metaphor bareback better than this poet, and nobody delivers her work to the page with as much sass and wry humor. If Los Angeles were to have its own poet laureate, my choice would be Suzanne Lummis."―David St. John"If L.A. has anything like a poetry 'community' these days, I think it is in large part owing to the presence of Suzanne Lummis―one of L.A.'s major poetic voices, a highly influential teacher of the art of poetry; a keeper of the dark flame of L.A. noir."―B. H. Fairchild About the Author Suzanne Lummis' poetry can be found in the anthologies California Poetry from the Gold Rush to the Present, New California Writers 2012, Poems of the American West, Poems of Murder and Mayhem, and in Human and Inhuman Monstrous Verse.

Poetry

The second title in the California Poetry Series. Humor and pathos, grit and glitter meet in these chronicles of Los Angeles noir life and dog days - earthquakes, riots, bars, all-night donut shops. This is not the cherished and envied Hollywood of tabloids but East Hollywood, the low-income, unfashionable side where no movie star deigns to venture. With surprising juxtapositions and the illusion of ease these witty and sometimes scary poems chart Suzanne Lummis' misadventures and liasons dangereuses a the low end of the big city.

In Danger (The California Poetry Series)

Roundhouse Pr

The contemporary creative writing class in fiction, non-fiction, or poetry, Aka the "workshop," evolved in Mfa programs introduced to U.S. universities after World War Ii, and today the majority of accomplished, successful literary novelists, short fiction writers and poets were influenced by the workshop process. But the poetry "workshop" in which the poem under discussion is reviewed and discussed by students and poet-teachers remains controversial to some readers and a mystery to others. This may be the first book exploring the craft of poetry that combines observations and analyses of the poet-teacher together with her students' own accounts of their initial creative impetus and their revision processes.
