When life vanishes and returns, an acclaimed poet maps the territory between mother and daughter, loss and birth. Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz's poetry has moved, inspired, and comforted readers worldwide for almost two decades across seven collections. Now, after a seven-year silence, this beloved poet returns with her most powerful work. Through the lens of her late mother's wisdom, Against Vanishing fearlessly explores life's pivotal moments—pregnancy, miscarriage, motherhood, grief, joy, and love—with radiant honesty, accessible humor, and masterful craft.
