Drift

The poems in Drift range from Cape Cod to Arizona to the Yazidi refugee camps in Greece. In the tradition of writers like Mary Oliver, Lindemann is a generous, wise, and elegant guide to the physical and psychic landscapes she traverses. These are poems about reaching out and about letting go; like all good artists, she finds meaning-and often delight-in the murk of contradiction."e;Whether writing about the physical world or about human connections, Lindemann sees the extraordinary in the commonplace and the spiritual in the everyday. Drift is a satisfying, heart-warming collection to return to again and again."e;-Milton Teichman, author of A Teacher of the Holocaust and Other Stories and co-editor of Truth and Lamentation: Stories and Poems on the Holocaust"e;Drift, as a collection of 'recipes and questions for God,' is a surviving citizen of a found world: a rough-hewn and familiar, ruminative world, alive with change and discovery. These are shoreline poems, gazing out into a reflective, reluctant sea."e; -Rebecca Byrkit, author of Whoa"e;In the tradition of writers like Mary Oliver, Lindemann is a generous, wise, and elegant guide to the physical and psychic landscapes she traverses. These are poems about reaching out and about letting go; like all good artists, she finds meaning-and often delight-in the murk of contradiction."e; -Julia Felsenthal, culture journalist
