Famous poems by »

Lisa Jarnot was born in Buffalo, New York. After studying with the poet Robert Creeley at the University of Buffalo, she earned her MFA from Brown University. Her poetry is known for its startling yet inviting aesthetic. Jarnot has commented, “I think poems are always collage on some level… Collage is a way to force awareness out of the random flow of information that’s constantly bombarding us.” In addition to the collage-like technique of juxtaposing, Jarnot also frequently employs repetition, as in “Poem Beginning with a Line by Frank Lima,” which reviewer Patrick Pritchett has described as “[t]he poem as a set of Chinese boxes, the word nested inside the further word, its double and its mirror and shadow.”
