Synopsis

In this collection of poetry and personal essay, Maud Lavin crafts a generous vision of Lake Michigan, Chicago, pacifist Jewish heritage, climate science, sensuality, love, and ethics-all experienced through the senses of an ever-changing body. This book asks the question: what does it mean to live in one body for an entire lifetime? In narrative verse and image-rich realism, Lavin lifts up the self as one part of a collective, called to share the planet's water and protect it-for all our lives. 74 pages, 6" x 8", perfect-bound, cover art by Lucia Enriquez.
