Take a Rib: The Arc of a Life in Poems

Take a Rib, The Arc of a Life in Poems

In this timeline and collection, Diane Lilli returns to the poems of her

youth, with transformative imagery that tracks her lifetime of writing

poems, landing in 2025.

Beginning with her first poem written at eight years of age, the author

continues to share a real-time body of work from different moments

of her life, as a fantastical, poetic memoir.

Every poem is organized in chronological order and separated by

distinct phases of her life.

Take a Rib is a wild ride through the stages of life as seen through the

lines of a poet, from the freedom of surreal literary beginnings to the

bittersweet world as it changes for everyone.

"Saying goodbye again," she writes, "I remind you, the most beautiful

gardens grow inside fences."
