Against Vanishing by Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz
In Against Vanishing, acclaimed poet Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz reminds us that when life vanishes, so too does it return.
For almost two decades, Aptowicz's poetry has moved and inspired readers worldwide across seven collections. Now, after a seven-year silence, the beloved poet returns with her most powerful work: Against Vanishing. A vast exploration of life's pivotal moments—pregnancy, miscarriage, motherhood, grief, sexuality, and love—this collection shines with radiant honesty, accessible humor, and masterful craft.
For mothers and daughters alike, these poems contend that to live is to persevere.
To be given the keys to each other’s bodies,
to take them out for spin, pedal to floor,
determined to see what this baby can really do.
