A fierce and darkly funny examination of anger, these lyrical poems push back against silencing by paying witness to a world where the experiences of women, nonbinary, and femme-identifying people are too often ignored, their responses dismissed as hysterical. These poems are also investigations into the loneliness of mid-life; the search for one's own self when that self has given its life to service. \u003ci\u003eEvery Form of Ruin\u003c\/i\u003e counters our culture's erasure of women and resists the categorizations of maiden, mother, crone by blurring those distinctions through the creation of voices that are moved by rage and resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErin Adair-Hodges \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eLet's All Die Happy\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize.
