				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lisa Dordal lives in Nashville, Tennessee with her partner, Laurie, and their two retired greyhounds. She received a Master of Fine Arts (in poetry) from Vanderbilt University in 2011 and a Master of Divinity, also from Vanderbilt, in 2005.</p>
<p>Her chapbook, <em>Commemoration</em>, is currently available from Finishing Line Press (<a href="https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product_info.php?products_id=919">https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product_info.php?products_id=919).</a> Here is a little bit about the book:</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Commemoration</em> moves from elegiac poems that respond to a mother’s alcoholism, death, and the heartbreaking ‘process of separating’ to those that chronicle ‘falling out of hiding’ into sexual awareness and fulfillment. Every poem in this collection is finely made, with quartz-like clarity and complexity; in sequence, they gain the undeniable urgency and inevitability of ‘atoms, quarks, and auras / and all the love that lies between.’ This is a wise and powerful collection.&#8221; <strong>– </strong>Claudia Emerson, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for <em>Late Wife</em></p>
<p>Lisa’s poetry also has appeared in a variety of journals and anthologies including <em>Sinister Wisdom, Cave Wall, Southern Women’s Review, The Sow’s Ear Poetry Review</em>, <em>Bridges: A Jewish Feminist Journal, The Southern Poetry Anthology </em>(Texas Review Press, forthcoming 2013),  <em>Milk and Honey </em>(A Midsummer Night’s Press, 2011) and <em>Dog Blessings: Poems, Prose, and Prayers Celebrating Our Relationships with Dogs</em> (New World Library, 2008).</p>
