At the same time, language is an alert, mobile life-form in active investigation of what one thinks one understands, and of where one thinks one is. While the poet quests daily for a passageway from one body of water into another, words live in other words (\"the hemlock \/ is a he \/ today\"), and acrostics are illuminations: s-w-i-m is \"sleek widening instant's magnet.\" Surprised by joy, these biocentric poems offer a way of being in the world with wonder and rigor--attentive enough to be lost, unknowing enough to be changed.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLisa Fishman\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of eight books of poetry, a short story collection, and several chapbooks.
