In poems that speak fearlessly about sex and grief, mothers and daughters, and friendships and marriage, Krygowski examines the beauty and danger of inhabiting a woman's body in the twenty-first century while negotiating how our pasts infiltrate, for better or worse, the here and now. This intimate collection delivers hard won loves and insights, surprising humor, and daring imagination. Krygowski celebrates our joys, gives witness to our pain, and never, never compromises.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eExcerpt from \"The Woman in the Corner\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI cut a leaf from my mother's blooming violet, \u003cbr\u003elong alive past her death, to start a plant \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003efor my daughter who I never knew as a baby--\u003cbr\u003eborn to a different woman-- \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ebut for whom I explained birth \u003cbr\u003econtrol, blood, how to relax, push in a tampon, \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ewhat my mother never touched, her body\u003cbr\u003ea child-making mystery that pushed me \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003einto mystery.
