Door
"Leah Noble Davidson goes beyond the academic and into the heart-meat, constantly proving why she is one of the most exciting voices in poetry today."
―Derrick C. Brown, Author of Uh-Oh and Strange Light, Texas Book of the Year
“'Push a door that needs a “pull” sign' reads the entirety of Leah Noble Davidson's poem 'A Door Is a Vehicle for Communication' and the poems in DOOR exist in a similarly enigmatic, illuminating manner. Cultural figures as disparate as Edna St. Vincent Millay and Jim Morrison, Dorothea Lasky and Aldous Huxley, Anne Sexton and William Blake make appearances, and each's existence is a jumping off point for Davidson's insouciant imaginative capabilities. DOOR is thusly a book of impeccable poems written by a living breathing human person of impeccable talent.”
―Jeff Alessandrelli, Author of This Last Time Will Be the First
“Leah is a genius and careful storyteller. I loved this book―it ripped me apart. In a good way.”
―Robyn Bateman, Author of Oh and creator of Failing Haus
“This book is Lacan on crack.”

a review on the back said this book was like "lacan on crack," so I think that pretty much covers it. a delightful, labyrinthine book, constantly adding/revising meaning and memory. an academic/poetic experiment I can sink my teeth into
