“Laurie Byro\u2019s La Dogaressa & Other Poems is in many ways a collection of voices, often Peggy Guggenheim\u2019s or D.H. Lawrence\u2019s, but also the voice of cigars in the Guggenheim art community or the paint pots of Jackson Pollock or one of Georgia O\u2019Keefe\u2019s chows. These voices teem with the histories of literature and art. There\u2019s a poem titled \u201cLiving in the Body of a Scorpion\u201d with a quote by T. S. Eliot. After a stretch of bird poems, we get the ultimate winged being in \u201cAngel and the Reader (1930\u2019s)\u201d with a quote from Leviticus. There seems nothing that Laurie Byro can\u2019t hear in this or other worlds that won\u2019t illuminate the reader\u2019s imagination with a vast array of literary and artistic cultures generated through an original presentation of ‘voices.'”<\/p>\n
