In this collection of poetry and personal essay, Maud Lavin crafts a generous vision of Lake Michigan, Chicago, pacifist Jewish heritage, climate science, sensuality, love, and ethics—all experienced through the senses of an ever-changing body. This book asks the question: what does it mean to live in one body for an entire lifetime? In narrative verse and image-rich realism, Lavin lifts up the self as one part of a collective, called to share the plant’s water and protect it—for all our lives.
