In the Right Season (2005)
“We hardly know how we will meet our last days, but in these poems, Diane Lutovich provides as clear a model as one could hope for. ”
—Margaret Kaufman, author of Snake at the Wrist
“In these poems, written during the last year and a half of her life, Diane Lutovich performs the most difficult of human tasks: balancing hope and acceptance. Without pity or despair, she looks closely at the world she loves.”
—Carolyn Miller, author of After Cocteau
What I Stole (2003)
“With fabulous images originating from an especially sharp eye, Diane Sher Lutovich bares her longings and losses. She is frank, sensual, and wry. She goes everywhere: wilderness, museum, zoo, bar mitzvah, love bed, grave. A thief myself, I understand why she stole: her hunger and defiance.”
—Phyllis Koestenbaum
