""Lisa Martin’s poems are written from the perspective of an 'expert / in worrying about the future,' imbuing Nighthawks with both consciousness and conscience, upping the emotional stakes of living in a 'storm coming, wind / alter[ed]' world."" Jim Johnstone, author of The King of Terrors

""Lisa Martin’s poems are written from the perspective of an 'expert / in worrying about the future,' imbuing Nighthawks with both consciousness and conscience, upping the emotional stakes of living in a 'storm coming, wind / alter[ed]' world."" Jim Johnstone, author of The King of Terrors ""Lisa Martin articulates grief as one who has been long familiar with its company. The poems in Nighthawks pay exquisite attention to the furled inner world of grief as it opens again to the light."" Jenna Butler, author of Revery: A Year of Bees
