Description
Kathryn Maris tracks the occupations and preoccupations of a young speaker from post-collegiate funk and despair through a variety of identity-crushing and identity-configuring encounters. Motherhood, employment, urban threats and pleasures, illness and wellness, and the making and the observing of art contribute to her quest for an answer to the question, "What do you do?" Her heart is ever in evidence in these carefully hewn, emotionally bracing lyric poems.
