Against Vanishing

For almost two decades across seven collections, Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz's poetry has moved, inspired, and comforted readers worldwide.

Now, after a seven-year silence, this beloved poet returns with her most powerful work yet. 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 and masterful craft.
