“Natalie Lyalin is writing some of the best poems in the world. There is an evil in her gorgeous poem-hearts. She must have sold her heart to the devil to write like this—so beautiful, so funny and so strange. Her images stack and stack down the page without spilling, each line such a bombshell you'll start reading backward to the first line. These poems are like babies—they will pop out of trees.” WorldWritingFirstsHeartBeautifulEvilReadingLinesTreeStrangeBabyPagesDevilPopsGorgeousSpillingBombshellsBest Poem Author:Zachary Schomburg
