Lightning Falls in Love is the twelfth collection of poems by Laura Kasischke. The collection is surreal and suburban. For example, when a bolt of lightning falls in love, with an old woman, sex is reinvented as the world’s first toaster oven/ When lightning falls in love with a middle- aged woman, lightning gives birth to an electric guitar. When lightning falls in love with a married man, his wife becomes an arsonist.”  Kasischke is a reliable and skilled poet Here’s what City Lights says: https://citylights.com/poetry/lightning-falls-in-love/
