Lisa Shulman Poetry: Poet, Author, Teacher


Lisa Shulman’s collection of poems, Fragile Bones, Fierce Heart, is an exquisite work of poetry. If there were two words to describe it, they would be fearless beauty. The poems serve as a testament to the reality that despite the challenging times marked by political upheaval, climate crises, and violence both at home and abroad, if we take a moment to step back and truly look, we can always discover that glimmer of hope hidden behind the curtain of despair that many of us are experiencing. This is the invaluable gift that Lisa Shulman imparts through her work, reminding us of the beauty and hope that reinforce our resilience and resistance. –Margo Perin, author of Plexiglass and The Opposite of Hollywood
Fragile Bones, Fierce Heart by Lisa Shulman is a treasure trove of poetry that invites multiple readings, enticing you over and over again, making it a standout in children's books and especially in the realm of political poetry.
