Where I Come In

This is the first collection of poems by the creator and spoken word artist Lisa Bennett. She transports us through a wide range of emotions and to different places in her life and growth, through parenting, marriage, divorce, and redemption. If these poems do not sing to you, she hasn't found your key yet. Lisa lives in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California with thousands of redwoods and a small menagerie.

Poems in Lisa Bennett's "Where I Come In" are by turns honest, sensual, and funny. The reader is drawn to accompany the poet as she seeks truth and justice in family history and human history, in wild Nature and human nature. With subjects as varied as infertility, a failed marriage, Kundalini, her pet parrot and Jesus Christ, Bennett displays her poetic prowess and asks readers to awaken into their power as she has clearly awakened into her own. -- Magdalena Montagne, Author of Earth, My Witness
