From the Publisher: 

Dorianne Laux's is a poetry of risk, going to the very edge of extinction to find the hard facts that need to be sung. What We Carry includes poems of survival, affirmation and celebration. Sculptured, fluid and generous, they reveal a poet informed by experience and caring. William O'Daly writes: "It seems that Ms. Laux has chosen to witness what she must on her journey, in some way reliving and weaving together who she was and who she is to fully reclaim her body and soul . . .
