RUPTURE is a haunting, tender, and sensual debut chapbook. Exploring both the before and after of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy (in which a fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tube and splits it open, causing life-threatening internal bleeding) the poems in RUPTURE are lyrical, darkly funny, and determined in their examination of both desire and loss. This book confronts the body's loves and their costs, asking "Who chooses / what survives, and why? / July brings back / roses everywhere / as if we were celebrating." Set in a landscape lushly alive with wild plants and changing seasons, these poems enter the daily devotions of caregiving and endurance.
