NBCC Award Winner The narrative lyrics in this remarkable collection could
stand as compressed stories about anxiety and the body The New York Times
Vulnerable tender acute these are serious poems brave poems exploring with
honesty the ambiguous moment between the rapture of youth and the grace of
acceptance A daughter tends to aging parents A woman struggles with
infertilityWhat if instead of carrying a child I am supposed to carry
griefand a body seized by pain and vertigo as well as ecstasy A nation
convulses Every song of this country has an unsung third stanza something
brutal And still National Book Award finalist Ada Limn shows us as ever the
persistence of hunger love and joy the dizzying fullness of our tooshort
lives Fine then Ill take it she writes Ill take it all Gorgeous
thoughtprovoking simple striking images Publishers Weekly starred review
Exquisite The Washington Post Pitchperfect
