Katz employs themes of illness, disability, war, and survival within the contexts of family history and global historical events. The collection moves through questions about identity, storytelling, displacement, and trauma, constructing an overall narrative about what it means to love while trying to survive. The poems in this book--which take the form of free verse, prose poems, sestinas, and erasures--attempt to address human fragility and what resilience looks like in a world where so much is uncertain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSarah Katz's\u003c\/b\u003e poems have appeared in \u003ci\u003eDistrict Lit\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eSo to Speak \u003c\/i\u003eblog, \u003ci\u003eRogue Agent\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMiPOesias, The Shallow End\u003c\/i\u003es, and \u003ci\u003eBear Review\u003c\/i\u003e, among others.
