Parenthood with its complexities and consequences is a major theme of Jennifer O'Grady’s daring, anticipated second book of poetry, Exclusions & Limitations. Inventive and exquisitely crafted, these poems mine marriage, infertility, and motherhood, along with politics, art, religion and the domestic and natural worlds to probe the nature and meaning of responsibility and the many aspects of love. In Exclusions & Limitations, appearance is often deceptive; what hovers between the lines is often as important as what’s said, combining internal voices and text fragments in sonorous collages that comment on each other in unexpected ways. Intelligent, compassionate, always deeply moving, Exclusions & Limitations questions how we live with, and without, each other.
