|  | | Subtraction Flower
A chapbook collection of poetry by Lisa Zaran.
Originally published in 2007 as a chapbook. Subtraction Flower sold out and has been re-released as a chapbook in its original format. | |  | | The Blondes Lay Content
"There are in my mind three elements to writing poetry: craft, honesty, and the eye. Lisa Zaran possess all three. Craft is something you develop while honesty is something you come to terms with. As for the eye either you have it or you don't. That is one of the reasons she is such an excellent poet: she has the eye like few others producing today. Her work borders on the state of verse that I refer to as a "tongue kissed by angels."
~Roger Humes, Director of The Other Voices International Project
"Zaran hits her readers with a stellar collection of modern incantations. Full of feeling and gorgeous pedagogy, her works illuminate and mesmerize both readers and writers alike. Zaran's honest voice delivers a montage of events rich in charm and celebration. Here is an impressive litany of the human spirit, a gathering of intimate joy for all existence. It's a collection of poetry to be celebrated and studied. Take notes. Zaran is the poet this generation has been waiting for, a true advocate of recording life with all its wonder, all its glory, and all its uncertainty. This book confirms the truth that The Blondes Lay Content."
--Tony R. Rodriguez, author of simplicity regurgitated: poems and shorts
Splashed Down
I am an idea.
The one redhead in a room
full of blondes.
Listen to me while I stand out.
Teach me, if you could,
how to be a river running slow.
A big blue sky, a billion stars at night.
Take me out of this cold, cruel world
into silence, into divinity,
into the sobriety of your heart.
Invent my murder,
carry it out. | |  | | the sometimes girl

"Lisa Zaran's work is intensely personal and refreshingly, disarmingly brutal in its self effacing honesty." ~rob walker, South Australian poet, songwriter and co-founder of

i love
with all
my open spaces.

sometimes
it is the

i'm serious.

sometimes
love says
take a risk,
and i want to.
