Through a series of intimately interwoven vignettes, Andalucia
paints an engulfing dreamscape, at once lush and treacherous, both
pale and aflame. The speaker in these poems has fallen in love with
some sort of colorless and exotic hell. Disturbed by her "bad girl"
past, laden with guilt and abuse, she revels in the sea, in the
arms of centaurs, inside of tear jars. Like an antique travel diary
turned mythic, Andalucia illuminates the simultaneous feelings of
elation, delusion, and fear that go along with letting oneself get
lost in one's own land. "Drunk and dolorous, talkative and
handsome, Lisa Marie Basile's chapbook Andalucia is a perfect
confection of decadence decorated with hounds and leopards. Sweet
and old-fashioned like an exotic candy you can't quite place, you
will want to devour it. "You don't need a sea to be happy / do
you?" No, you just need to read Andalucia by Lisa Marie Basile." --
Kathleen Rooney, author of Oneiromance (an epithalamion)
