Sun in Days: Poems

A groundbreaking new collection by a celebrated writer of “ambitious and dynamic poems” (New York Times).From the acclaimed poet and critic Meghan O’Rourke comes a powerful collection about the frailty of the body, the longing for a child, and the philosophical questions raised when the body goes dramatically awry.

In formally ambitious poems and lyric essays, Sun in Days gives voice to the experience of illness, the permanence of loss, and invigorating moments of grace.
