New York-based poet and postdoctoral fellow Wendy Lotterman’s full-length debut, A Reaction to Someone Coming In (New York NY: Futurepoem Books, 2023)
follows her chapbook Intense Holiday (After Hours, 2016).
Rob McLennan: "The blurbs on the back cover offer descriptors such as “percussive” and “scorching,” and Lotterman’s poems and prose-lyrics offer a swagger and pulsating directness on degrees of family, intimacy, motherhood and sex, composing a layering of direct statements and lyrics that accumulate across and form into larger narrative structures."
