Description

Fifteen years ago, Lola Haskins stepped out of her house and was so struck by the fact that she knew almost nothing about the multitudes living in the air around her and in the earth under her feet that she spent the next many years interviewing entomologists and reading every secondary source she could get her hands on. Like Zeros, Like Pearls is the glorious result of that exploration.

The poetry in Pearls exhibits all the sharpness of eye and soulful sensitivity that have marked Haskins' fourteen previous collections. Within it, you'll find a wide range of insects-bees to beetles, mantises to ants, ladybugs to cicadas, and fireflies to butterflies, to name a few-each story with its own heart-felt exploration. Furthermore, since everything in the book has been vetted by entomologists, readers can be certain that no matter how wild an account may sound, it's scientifically accurate.

Among Haskins' many honors are the Iowa Poetry Prize, two Florida Book Awards, two NEA fellowships, and the Emily Dickinson Prize from the Poetry Society of America. W.S. Merwin said of her poetry that she "writes with the freedom and grace of a kite flying."

About the Author
Haskins, Lola: - Lola Haskins' prior collection, Homelight (Charlotte Lit Press, 2023), was Southern Literary Review's 2023 Poetry Book of the Year. Other recent collections include Asylum: Improvisations on John Clare (University of Pittsburgh, 2019); How Small, Confronting Morning (Jacar Press, 2016), set in the woods and waters of North central Florida; and The Grace to Leave (Anhinga, 2012) and Still, the Mountain (Paper Kite, 2010), both of which won Florida Book Awards. Besides 14 books of poetry, Lola Haskins has published three of prose, including Fifteen Florida Cemeteries: Strange Tales Unearthed (University Press of Florida), Not Feathers Yet: A Beginner's Guide to the Poetic Life (University of Nebraska Press), and Solutions Beginning with A (Modernbook), a collection of fables about women illustrated by Maggie Taylor. The past ten or fifteen years have seen Haskins venture into the natural world, both in poetry and prose. Her poem "Prayer for the Everglades" ends the otherwise prose The Book of the Everglades (Milkweed), and another poem, "The View from Cedar Key," is one of two poems in UnspOILed (Heart of the Earth), a book of citizens' responses to the Gulf, given to all state legislators prior to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Her most recent poetry collection, Like Zeros, Like Pearls (Charlotte Lit Press, 2025), explores the world of insects.
