Summary

“In these gentle, perceptive lyrics, Ruth Panofsky voices the subtle intricacies of familial pleasure and its accompanying pain: the illness of a beloved child, the loss of a parent, the daily joy and quotidian sorrow family brings. Panofsky risks ‘releasing into life’ poems that illustrate both the attachments and the ruptures of family love.” —Rhea Tregebov
