Sarah’s recent collection, “Waking to Brevity” (Finishing Line Press, 2024) is a 33-poem letter to her husband who suffered from Parkinson’s Disease the final decade of his life. These are “poems so tender and fierce in their ability to walk the reader through days and nights we hope never to face ourselves. I can see myself reaching for this collection like a lifeline when I am faced with losses I feel I cannot bear” NM.

The poems in Meg’s “Does the Earth” (Harpoon Books, 2023) address an imagined daughter with intimate intensity as the writer explores her transformative journey towards motherhood. “In clear- eyed language shimmering with urgency she moves from loss, through longing toward a future of fierce connection. To her daughter she offers, ‘wonder is a discipline I wanted you to be good at.’ “AP
