I've Been Collecting This to Tell YouAuthor(s): Lisa Ampleman\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Kent State University Press, United States\nImprint: Kent State University Press\nISBN-13: 9781606351109, 978-1606351109\nSynopsis\nIn the old story of love and loss, Lisa Ampleman's I've Been Collecting This to Tell You cuts to the core of the matter with concision and subtlety. Hearts are laid bare, dissected, even grown anew. Masterfully structured and alert to the most vital details, this collection has lots to tell us and a voice at once authentic and lyrical with which to do it. Don Bogen\n\nIn these poems, the beloved is a space the speaker moves through at first with trepidation, then with gathering force emerging finally into a hard-won world ravishing in its clarity under a brutally beautiful sky pinking up/like a newly healed limb. The poems of Lisa Ampleman's collection don t flinch, and the reward of their acute seeing is a song that s sustenance itself. Kerri Webster\n\nLisa Ampy
