I. V. Poems

"I first encountered Lucy J. Madison's poetry when the Tipton Poetry Journal published her poem, "The Farmhouse." Her deft use of language and knack for choosing just the right word becomes quickly evident. These are intimate and fascinating poems that probe the mystery of relationship, often while exploring those spaces where one thing meets the edge of another: black night yielding to dawn, or ocean surf pounding against a sandy beach. Her facility for metaphor and personification brings words alive in new and often surprising ways." - Barry Harris, Editor Tipton Poetry Journal
