“Liane Strauss writes fresh compelling, edgy, intelligent poetry . . . as if she's confidently mapping the secret grammar & physics of the universe.”
Michael Donaghy | Limelight – October ‘03
“[Strauss] can drive a standard romantic line straight at the wall of cliché and spin the wheel at the last moment . . . so that the whole idea turns into a memorable night out with a picnic on the canal bank at dawn as the car finishes sinking out of sight”
Clive James | clivejames.com
“You pack every good thing you can find into the poem until its seams are bursting. And it still holds together . . . I’ve had the same sensation, reading your work, that I had when I first read Whitman…”
Christie Hodgen | New Letters - Spring ‘21
“Like Penelope’s daily weaving … each of these fascinating poems is part of a larger story, each an exquisitely observed vignette that pinpoints a moment of conversation, or observation, or travel… Unputdownable, as in ‘so gripping as to be read right through at one sitting.’”
Mary Jo Bang | Marsh Hawk Press Prize 2023
The first issue of my Substack “How To Read A Poem: A Love Story” is out now.
