Blood Box by Zefyr Lisowski (2019)

Blood Box

by Zefyr Lisowski

is a true-crime

prose poetry

persona poem

project book.

A chilling

and violent

and compact

collection.

Haunted,

as the publisher

Black Lawrence Press

confirms in their website description.

Haunted indeed.

Thanks to poet Laura Walker

for recommending this one

in our interview.

She had this to say:

The poems are inspired,

complex, and off-kilter

reimaginings

of the life of Lizzie Borden.

The timing and texture

of the poems’

many swerves

are pitch-perfect for me.
