Lee Landau's poetry is deeply accessible as she writes with raw honesty about her personal landscape: her relationships with family, their dysfunctional backstories, and the many phases of loss and grief that tumble through her life and poems. There is an inherent glow to her precise language and images that charm the reader. Many of the poems in this Chapbook underscore feelings of anxiety. Landau opens up her life and times in these thirty poems. She has been a finalist in four poetry contests, her work has been well published in journals and small presses. This is not the writings of an emerging poet, but the result of how she explores a well honed craft while engaging in poetic themes of love, loss, grief. Known influences on her poetry are Mark Strand, Tom Lux, Sharon Olds and Maxine Kumin. Knotted should capture a broad based audience from 18 to 99 years old, a Highly Recommended Read.
