I was particularly moved by Separation, crying each time I read it.

Lou Lipsitz's poems have a subtle power, equal parts immediacy and artifice. They linger in the mind (to say nothing of the heart) long after they are read, inviting us to revisit them, see if we have lived up to their example by letting them change us. They invite us to embrace all that is in them--the love and sadness, the disappointment and joy--and to acknowledge these qualities in ourselves and take them out into the world. They help us, in other words, to live fully, and appreciate the intensity inherent in doing so.
