In a series of lyric odes and elegies, \u003ci\u003e Lo\u003c\/i\u003e explores the notion that we can be partially constituted by lack--poverty, neglect, isolation. The child in the book's early sections is beloved and lonely, cherished and abused, lucky and imperiled, and by leaning into this complexity the poems render a tentative and shimmering space sometimes occluded, the space occupied by a girl coming to find herself and the world beautiful, even as that world harms her. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMelissa Crowe\u003c\/b\u003e is author of \u003ci\u003eDear Terror, Dear Splendor\u003c\/i\u003e.
