Dear Adrianna,

Bobbi Lurie is the author of three poetry collections: Grief Suite, Letter from the Lawn and The Book I Never Read. Her paintings, etchings, drawings and sculpture have been exhibited in The United States, Britain and Japan. Her murals have been destroyed due to the demolition of the buildings they were painted on. Most of her visual art work and writing is housed in her bedroom, covered in dust, piled up to the ceiling, blocking the way to the kitchen.
