What people are saying about An Urgent Request, Fortunate Daughter's first title, and FD poet Sarah Luczaj's first book:
"Sarah reaches deep inside, and through that act of stoutheartedness and exploration, she reaches across, into the heart of the reader."
~Isabella Mori
“Sharp, dramatic, funny and shocking poetry”
-Yuri Andrukhovych, Ukrainian poet, novelist and essayist. Co-founder of the popular literary performance group “Bu-Ba-Bu” (Burlesque-Bluster-Buffoonery).
“I read An Urgent Request with enormous appreciation. The mix of emotion and imagination, the near side of the domestic juxtaposed with the wrenching human questions, without the scaffolding of overt autobiographical narrative, immediately brings to mind some of my very favorite poets: Akhmatova, Radnoti, and Rosario Castellanos. Beautiful poetry.”
-Jeffrey Greene, poet, memoirist and nature writer. His latest book, The Golden Bristled Boar, is forthcoming from University of Virginia Press, 2010.
“From the tenderness and breathlessness of “oh my girl” to the irony and humor of “How to Take Control of Your Own Life,” Luczaj’s sensitive and daring poems invite the reader to follow her and to heed her urgent request -- no, no, let’s swim a little further.”
-Heather Hartley, Paris editor of Tin House; author of the poetry collection Knock Knock, forthcoming from Carnegie Mellon in 2010.
