Both personal and political, these poems interrogate how we grieve, what it means to be a woman in post-\u003ci\u003eRoe \u003c\/i\u003eAmerica, and how private and public ghosts can come back to haunt us. Surrealist, maximalist, formal, and with an ear to the underworld, \u003ci\u003eThe Sweating Sickness\u003c\/i\u003e spins the reader into an eco-fabulist wonderland, where anything can happen, and does.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRebecca Lehmann \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the poetry collections \u003ci\u003eRinger\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Donald Hall Prize for Poetry, and \u003ci\u003eBetween the Crackups\u003c\/i\u003e.
