Reviews"Lizzie Harris's Stop Wanting is an unflinching book about a girlhood filled with violence, doubt, vulnerability, and loss. These gorgeously crafted and hauntingly memorable poems are a bleak place full of life, prayer, and the kind of answers only poems like these can provide." --Rachel Zucker, "Lizzie Harris's debut collection, Stop Wanting , crafts images and lines of such arresting splendor that I am very often driven to joy at the feats of beauty and healing that language is capable of bringing into being." --Tracy K. Smith, "To what or whom does Lizzie Harris direct the imperative title of her startling first book, Stop Wanting ? To the reader, the narrator, to desire itself, or to lack? This is a work of complexly, ambiguously layered narratives and identities. The opening poem asserts 'I want to say what happened / but am suspicious of stories.' These lines become an ars poetica for the whole of this painful and exceptional collection in which the unspeakable is stubbornly confronted by a searing eloquence. This is a commanding debut." --Lynn Emanuel
