​​Margaret Stawowy’s new collection could just as well have been called Lost and Found. These meditations consider a tenuous world, vanished or fated to vanish, as though to reclaim it, to keep it from absolute annihilation. A number of these poems are gorgeous conceits, sometimes playful, sometimes painful, sometimes perplexing, but almost always executed with a sure hand and a cool eye. Stawowy guides us through the undersides of childhood and memory and dread as "someone in love / with anomaly," who is also "always grateful / for grace"—a welcome combination for the lucky reader.
 
    —Thomas Centolella, Dorset Prize winner and author of Almost Human

​Margaret Stawowy’s poems are vivid, allusive yet precise, rich in emotional detail and written in language that draws the reader into her world so that it becomes our world, too.
