Lise Goett lives in the high-mountain desert of Taos, New Mexico, where each of the three
cultures—Native American, Hispanic, and Anglo—retains its unique and radical difference.
When she is not wrestling her pitbull-mix puppy, she teaches generative online courses and edits poetry manuscripts. Her third collection The Radiant is due out from Tupelo Press on Christmas Eve 2024. Her work has garnered numerous honors, including the 2012 winner of the Robert H. Winner Memorial Award in Poetry from the Poetry Society of America, The Paris Review Discovery Award, the Pen Southwest Book Award in Poetry, The Palette Poetry Spotlight Award in 2020, the Barnard New Women Poets Prize for her first collection, Waiting for the Paraclete (Beacon Press, 2012), and a manuscript selection in the 2015 Tupelo Open Reading Period (Leprosarium, Tupelo Press, 2018).
