Lisa Underwood’s chapbook The Bone Picker is an intensely lyrical collection, drawn forward by an elegiac impulse that is as unsettling as it is moving. These are well-crafted poems with a distinct voice and an original vision. What delights this reader is how she draws on her influences—Gjertrud Schnackenberg and W.S. Merwin, most notably and directly—to produce poems that are clearly her own. She is a poet at the beginning of her career, yet her poems have force and authority. This is an impressive book.

Lisa Underwood‘s first book of poetry is The Bone Picker. The collection of short poems follows the life of a woman from a troubled childhood, through the ups and downs of marriage and motherhood, the recalibration of empty nesting and an abundance of soul searching in between. Though the narrative arc begins in darkness and confusion, there is an unburdening as the story resolves on a note of hope and reconciliation. #poetry #love #loss #memory #motherhood #relationships

Lisa Underwood is a poet and writer who is drawn to visual imagery which she  translates to the page in a spare artistic style that reverberates with echoes of other  worlds, both real and imagined. Her poetry can be still and peaceful; uplifting and  encouraging, a place of quiet reflection and love. Some of her themes are darker,  reflective of a world that can be very hard to live in, for people of all ages and  persuasions.
