Blood Brother poems cycle through plateaus of grief and remembering. Sometimes the lost brother is willfully summoned but sometimes his image recurs in the most unexpected places. The poems in this book are magnetic and fragile.”—CHRIS KRAUS, author of The Four Spent the Day Together and I Love Dick

“The poetry of Lily Lady is a leather-gloved hand that grabs your hair as you pass a dark alley pulling you into a world of brutal tender earnest life you never want to escape.”—TEA HAČIĆ-VLAHOVIĆ, author of Give Me Danger

“To have had a family is to be haunted. In Blood Brother, Lily Lady busts into memory’s haunted house, excavating, investigating. These poems are tender and eerie, deeply searching, with an eye for detail so sharp it hurts. Literally write anything you want and put my name on it, I love this collection. xoxox”—MICHELLE TEA, author of Free Love: Adventures in Marriage and Polyamory
