Lovingly grounded in the ordinary, these are thinking poems--tightly crafted, accessible inquiries more interested in exploring stark and complicated knowledge than in proclaiming it. The poems, which use a sister's death as a touchstone, dwell in the overlap of emotions. Loss touches happiness, desire touches fear, love touches futile knowing. Krygowski's unstoppable energy for seeking and revealing disparate thoughts and emotions makes the collection wholly human. This fresh, surprising voice speaks for the intelligent heart in each of us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNancy Krygowski\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Woman in the Corner\u003c\/i\u003e, named one of 2020's top 100 poetry books by \u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eVelocity\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Agnes Lynch Starrett prize from the University of Pittsburgh Press.
