Lissa is a poet and writer living by the Ashokan Reservoir in New York’s Catskill Park.

Lissa grew up in a factory town, but you won’t mistake her poems for assembly-line.

Lissa unapologetically embraces multiple points of view, adopts alter egos, and invites her muses—dead or alive—to collaborate with her. Her voice has been called dreamy, textured, witchy, precise, and possessing “a raven wildness” (Sally Rosen Kindred). She endeavors to honor each poem’s original impulse while nurturing it to its fullest potential.
