Daniel Nester has a great article on the Poetry Foundation website about Lyn Lifshin and her recent reading at Caffe Lena in Saratoga. Nester talks about her work appearing in more than 300 journals (this includes Albany Poets quarterly journal, Other:____) and more,
“We talk about a lot of things—how her father’s friend Robert Frost praised her poetry when she was a teenager; how she walked away from her dissertation on 16th-century poet Sir Thomas Wyatt and dove head-first into contemporary poetry journals; how a member of the Byrds, seeing her picture in Rolling Stone, offered to take her away and marry her.”
