Description
Summary:	Joy Ladin's latest collection is an intimate exploration of loss, resilience and love. Through her "haiku suites," Ladin provides glimpses into her mother's dementia and her own growing disability. The lyric narratives that follow portray a widening circle that includes estranged children, God, targeted trans women and Trump-era America. The book concludes with "Autobiography of my whiteness," a reckoning with Ladin's growing awareness of her place in America's racial hierarchy.
