Description:
Laura C. Lippman's poems reveal a mind that is as analytically sharp as it is emotionally fearless. By braiding personal history and collective memory into poems that feel both intimate and daring, she transforms lived experience of family, motherhood, and her profession as a medical doctor into something luminous and often unsettling. The collection's craft lies in its precision and fierce intelligence.
