description: Poetry. Laura Treacy Bentley's collection of poems LAKE EFFECT is a collection of people and place."Everywhere I look these days, no poetry is being written. There is a lot of pretend poetry, but nothing really fine. With this book it makes it very easy for me to say: Laura Bentley, I dub thee poet supreme."~ Ray Bradbury"Laura Bentley's eye is drawn to what others often overlook or refuse to examine, the detritus and back rooms and alleyways of a frightening and frightened world. Here are portraits of the broken and the maimed; here are narratives of hopelessness and redemption; here are strong lyric engagements with landscape; and here is the solace of geological time. This book charts a pilgrim's journey in language with growing assurance and control. It is a journey already rich with achievement and this collection augurs well for Bentley's future path"~ Paula Meehan.
