Lisa Shulman’s collection of poems. Fragile Bones, Fierce Heart, is exquisite. If there were two words to describe it, they would be fearless beauty. The poems are a testament to the fact that even though we are in times of great political upheaval, climate crises and violence at home and abroad, if we step back and look, really look, we will always find that glimmer of hope behind a curtain of despair that many of us are feeling. And that is the gift that Lisa Shulman leaves us with, the beauty and hope that allow us to remember our resilience and resistance.

–Margo Perin, author of Plexiglass and The Opposite of Hollywood

Fragile Bones, Fierce Heart is a treasure trove of poems that invite multiple readings, enticing you over and over again.

–Fran Claggett-Holland, Poet, teacher, educational consultant
