Produktbeschreibung
In Protection, Michelle Lerner explores the wonder and challenges of parenting from pregnancy through early childhood, taking on subjects rarely considered in poetry such as difficult labor, c-section, questions of gender identity and development in young children, and the experience of parenting while chronically ill. Throughout the chapbook, she comes back, over and over, to the eternal dilemma of how to balance the urge to protect one's child with the acknowledgement of the child's need for self-development and risk-taking, how to distinguish "the you from the me/ the definition from destruction/ the stumble from the fall." "I love Lerner's luminous imagery that fuses at times with an unexpected searing irony. Michelle Lerner is a new shimmering star on our poetry planet." -Laura Boss, author of The Best Lover, editor of Lips "These are beautiful lyric narratives that touch the heart." -Maria Mazziotti Gillan, American book award winner and poet "...the poems create a vivid and moving portrait of a life in our moment, written with vulnerability, insight, and a keen eye for fresh, revealing detail." -Jennifer Michael Hecht, Ph.D., author of Who Said
Autorenporträt
Michelle Lerner is a recovering public interest lawyer and cat herder. She's currently raising a magpie-like child while emerging from the depths of late-stage chronic Lyme Disease, writing songs on a shiny new guitar, and unsuccessfully trying to establish a disciplined schedule to work on her poetry and fiction. She received an MFA in poetry from The New School and her poetry manuscripts have been selected as finalist for The Poetry Box® Chapbook Prize and semifinalist for the 2018 Pamet River Prize and the 2020 Willow Run Poetry Book Award. Her individual poems have appeared in many journals and other fora, including VQR's Instagram Series, Harvard Women's Law Journal, Paterson Literary Review, Lips, Adanna, Knock, and Sixfold, as well as several anthologies. The manuscript for her debut novel, Ring, has been selected as a finalist for Book Pipeline's Unpublished Contest and the Bridge Eight Fiction Prize, longlisted for the Dzanc Prize for Fiction, and chosen as a Notable Selection for the Chapter One Prize, while it awaits a publisher. Michelle recently became a writing mentor for We Are Not Numbers, a nonprofit that publishes the autobiographical stories of Palestinians living under occupation and in refugee camps.
