我说嗯
这是一本四辑合成的短诗集，第一辑题名为《在路上》。包括《我说嗯》《等待》《我想告诉你》《敲门》在内，共计33首短诗。第二辑《局外者》中灯灯共收集了45首短诗。从《春天的敌人》开始，诗集进入了入第三辑组成。这一辑题名是《灌木丛》，别有意味。当一首《桃花劫》的闪现，灯灯似乎找到了必须革新自己以往的写作真谛，她的诗歌感觉又开始了新一程扫描。在整个第四辑《桃花劫》中，灯灯竟然放进了73首短诗，这是灯灯写作求新，求变，求质，求深的结果。与既往写作经验不同，灯灯把自己的写作视域，逐步从高山庙宇，内心墙壁，移向了烟火缭绕的尘世，移向身边的人事，移向历史场景、生活思考和文化反思。并逐渐出现了一批优秀的诗作。
