Poetry. Nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award and chosen by Publishers Weekly and the Poetry Foundation as one of the Best Books of 2009. A brutally honest epic of domestic proportions. MUSEUM OF ACCIDENTS rends the terrorizing forces of modern existence from abstraction and places them directly in our laps. The anxieties and elations of motherhood and marriage unfold throughout poems of uncompromising courage, compassion and fever. "Rachel Zucker may be Generation X's likeliest heir to the confessional legacy of Sylvia Plath, Louise Gluck, and Sharon Olds"--The Believer.

Author City: NEW YORK, NY USA
