About Wrack Lines:

"Early in her collection Wrack Lines, Lynn Schmeidler summarizes a crush with deft simplicity: 'Infatuation had taken a subway to me.' In these poems—heartbreaking, wildly inventive, wise and innocent by turns—she conjures the world of unrequited love."
—Gillian Cummings

"Lynn Schmeidler is a rare poet who deftly straddles two camps of contemporary lyric poetry. Well-versed at lexical play and the leap as well as clear metaphor and imagery, her keen imagination describes what it feels like to be willingly trapped in the bittersweet abyss of unrequited love. Schmeidler offers us a feminist handbook of one-sided yearning"
—Jennifer Franklin
