Now on Sale! Lisa Stice’s ‘Letters from Conflict: Poems’!

Available starting today, Mar. 12, 2024, in both Kindle e-book and print editions,  Lisa Stice’s latest poetry collection delivers a welcome bundle of poetic correspondence to a world of art and a world at war.

“In her engagements with poets from Ireland to India, as well as U.S. military veterans and families, Lisa Stice is an ideal correspondent with art and history,” says the publisher.

Stice is the author of the previously published poetry collections Uniform (Aldrich Press, 2016), Permanent Change of Station (Middle West Press, 2018), FORCES (Middle West Press, 20221), and the poetry chapbook Desert (Prolific Press, 2018). Most recently, she was the co-editor of the anthology Things We Carry Still: Poems & Micro-Stories about Military Gear (Middle West Press, 2023).

She currently lives in North Carolina with her U.S. Marine husband, daughter, and beloved Norwich Terrier named Seamus.
