\u201cAn often-sweet, often-startling autobiographical novel-in-verse about going through a divorce and the death of a loved one\u2014meditating on life\u2019s big and small losses, and the ways the universe at once reminds us of and assuages those losses.\u201d\u00a0\u2014O, The Oprah Magazine \u201cA fierce, funny, agonized, cracked-open aria in homage to the presence and passing of fiercely loved things.\u201d\u00a0\u2014Maggie Nelson, author of\u00a0The Argonauts how does a person dislodge the scenes that burn inside them like arsoned cars? Ali Liebegott is reeling from a fresh, painful divorce. She wallows in grief and overassigns meaning to everyday circumstance, clinging to an aging Dalmatian and obsessing over dead birds. Going through the motions of teaching and walking her dog, she eventually decides to hit the road: Ali and Rorschach at the Center of the World. This autobiographical novel-in-verse is a chronicle of mourning and survival, documenting depression and picking apart failed intimacy. But Ali Liebegott\u2019s poetry is laced with compassion, for herself and the reader and the world, as she learns to balance the sting of death with the tender strangeness of life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
