Against Vanishing - Paperback

by Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz (Author)

Seven years after her last book-and with a lot of love, loss, and an entire pandemic in between-this beloved poet returns. Through the lens of her late mother's wisdom, Against Vanishing digs deep as Aptowicz explores with radiant honesty the twists and turns of a life fully lived: pregnancy, miscarriage, motherhood, grief, joy, laughter, and sex. Nothing is off limits to this poet at the top of her craft.

Against Vanishing is a joyful homecoming, a call to action, and a reminder of how good it feels to remember who we really are.
