Sun in Days: Poems
рдЗрд╕ рдИ-рдмреБрдХ рдХреЗ рдмрд╛рд░реЗ рдореЗрдВ рдЬрд╛рдирдХрд╛рд░реА
From acclaimed poet and critic Meghan OтАЩRourke comes a powerful collection about the frailty of the body, the longing for a child, and the philosophical questions raised when the body goes dramatically awry. These formally ambitious poems and lyric essays give voice to the experience of illness, the permanence of loss, and invigorating moments of grace. A Paterson Poetry Prize finalist, Sun in Days is unsentimental yet deeply felt, characterized by OтАЩRourkeтАЩs signature lyric precision and force of observation.
