Liza received her B.A. and M.A. in English and Comparative Literature from Columbia University, where she studied the poetry of Sylvia Plath and T.S. Eliot. After being disillusioned by the ideological capture of literary study in the American academy, Liza founded Pens and Poison, a unique multi-platform project that aims to restore the idea of literature as a work of art rather than as a political vehicle. Through videos, articles, and podcast episodes, Pens and Poison engages Liza’s 50K+ Instagram followers and 20K+ YouTube subscribers on a daily basis. Her weekly Substack essays on literature, culture, and the humanities have established her as an authoritative literary and cultural critic in heterodox circles.

If I could delete one book from the surface of the Earth, it would be Normal People by Sally Rooney, which unequivocally ruined the literary world by convincing writers that "good writing" means short sentences and zero character depth.

“He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

Oscar Wilde
“There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Oscar Wilde
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde

William Shakespeare
“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind. Nor hath love's mind of any judgment taste; Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste: And therefore is love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd.”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

J.D. Salinger
“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
