by Julia Lisella (Author)

Our Lively Kingdom is a poetry collection in four parts, navigating love, children, art, and death. It is poetry of life lived: "and the day begins again, un-remembering and un-making//that which must be felt again each night, the question repeating/and the question being answered." With patience and passion, Julia Lisella writes about the fragility of life fleeting and the interminableness of a prayer.
