Finalist, 1994 National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry. Dorianne Laux's poetry is a poetry of risk; it goes to the very edge of extinction to find the hard facts that need to be sung. What We Carry includes poems of survival, poems of healing, poems of affirmation, and poems of celebration.

I first read Laux's poetry The Book of Men. Its fascinating to see how her writing has evolved. There were some really great poems on grief, guilt, and the memories we carry.
