Abstract
Lane is a pluralist in outlook and technique whose work, over the years, has explored civic space, domestic space, wilderness space, and interiorized psychic spaces. I've long enjoyed Lane's openness to idiosyncrasy - her willingness to let the odd, the quirky, the eccentric, sing... I admire the risks Lane takes in her poetry, her penchant for taking us to 'the place where the map gives out.'
