Reviewed by Kevin Spenst in subTerrain magazine Issue #95
“Waiting for Lightning by Marilyn Letts is an artful divulgence of stages of belief and how one’s faith might both break and grow….Undeniably, Letts takes us through an admirable exploration of form: “Six-word memoirs,” a concrete poem, lyric poems, and poems that rewrite portions of the Bible. Waiting for Lightning reveals convictions reworked into freedom.”
