Description
Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. This book-length lyric essay provides gently incisive scrutiny of the processes (biological, social, psychological, cultural, even economic) of planned motherhood. Kiefer employs verse, memoir, reportage, and a quietly tenacious prose narrative to style a private moment-by-moment mosaic of experience. Discussions of gender and privilege blend seamlessly with larger, core interrogations of the body itself—that which perseveres and triumphs, that which fails in myriad ways and despairs helplessly of those failures—that which creates and that which betrays itself.
