The Year of No Mistakes by Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz

The Year of No Mistakes takes readers on a cross-country journey as Aptowicz explores themes of love, lust, heartache, and ambition in poems set in various cities across the United States.

While the book takes readers into the gradual break-up of her decade-long relationship, at its heart lies Aptowicz's blossoming love affair with Americana.

Composed during her National Endowment for the Arts grant fellowship, poems from this collection have already graced over four dozen literary journals and enchanted audiences in venues across the country.
