Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Jennifer Richterâs penetrating second collection of poems, No Acute Distress, introduces us to the unspoken struggles and unanticipated epiphanies of illness and motherhood, subjects rarely explored together in contemporary poetry. The first poem of each section borrows from a classic joke formâone begins, âAn intractable migraine walks into a barââto consider the thin line this mother walks between the tragic and comic: debilitating pain met with increasingly absurd and desperate medical treatments.
Richter seasons her work with irony from the start, titling the bookâs opening poem, âPleasant, healthy-appearing adult white female in no acute distress.â As the collection progresses, the speakerâs growing children bring new, wider perspective to the poems; the heart of the book opens up to embrace the adolescentsâ increasing self-sufficiency and the bodyâs vibrant re-emergence into health.
No Acute Distress offers readers fresh language grounded in a masterful use of form, speaking with an urgency that acknowledges chronic painâs cumulative damage to the body and spirit, and with an openness that allows for hope and the inexplicable on the path to victorious recovery.
