The Northway, by Lisa Bellamy

Congratulations to Lisa for the feature of her poem, Not So Easy, Saving Sentient Beings, on Verse Daily.

We are pleased to announce that Lisa's book has been named a finalist for the 2018 Woodrow Hall Top Shelf Award.

Congratulations to Lisa who won a 2019 Pushcart Prize for "Wild Pansy," from The Northway.

Congratulations to Lisa for the feature of her poem, Obit, in The Writer's Almanac.
​
Congratulations to Lisa for the feature of The Northway in "Cagibi Express."
Praise for The Northway
This hilarious, imaginative book packs cigarette butts, Buddhist prayer flags, a spastic colon, Leviathan jaws, and gnats reincarnating as neonatal nurses into just one poem. Others say “Yes, to grunts and drooling”; find a Zen master in a bobcat spotted while driving; and experience an epiphany while driving with closed eyes. Bellamy’s humor is a lens exposing our foibles, fears, and loveliness. Her unstinting, self-implicating humor skewers culture, “I eat only fresh, locally sourced sadness,” and politics, religion, gender roles, and relationships, “swinging [her] axe at the root of delusion.”
            —April Ossmann
