Elise Ficarra's Swelter seeks to rescue te lyric during the latest war's assault on our senses." -Brian Henry "Where words foreshadow and mirror each other in Elise Ficarra's Swelter, where we apprehedn their correspondences, our re-reading is always a first reading--startling--as of a poem which can be inhabited in multiple dimensions at once." -Benjamin Hollander "These brilliant and engaging poems do double time as the world's most innovative and advanced Ouija board." -Stacy Doris About the Author: Elise Ficarra's work has appeared in Bird Dog, Commonweal, Fourteen Hills, Small Town, Transfer and other journals.
