Sun in Days
Poems
Poems and lyric essays about the frailty of the body, the longing for a child, and what happens when illness takes over a life.
Meghan O’Rourke’s third collection, published in 2017, turns to the body in trouble. Its poems and lyric essays give voice to the experience of illness, the longing for a child and the permanence of loss, and to the questions raised when the body goes badly wrong. It was a finalist for the Paterson Poetry Prize and was named one of the best poetry books of 2017 by the New York Times Book Review.
