Praise for Unexpected Clearing
Lucas’ poems are invested in harmony rather than fragmentation… but also through the mundane experiences of the everyday.
ALYSON MILLER, CORDITE
...the reader resonates and glides along from verse to verse.
ELENA GOMEZ, OVERLAND
Lucas is a poet of great elegance and self-control whose work is remarkably devoid of affectation. Her poetry probes experience and startles in unexpected ways. It is grounded, yet refined. Intense yet lyrical.
DOMINIQUE HECQ, TEXT JOURNAL
[Lucas'] sparse lyrical imagism and plastic stance that concertinas between micro and macro viewpoints are dazzling.
