Vulnerable, beautiful and ultimately life-affirming, Cristin OKeefe Aptowiczs work reaches new heights in her revelatory seventh collection of poetry. Continuing in her tradition of engaging autobiographical work, How to Love the Empty Air explores what happens when the impossible becomes real―for better and for worse. Aptowiczs journey to find happiness and home in her ever-shifting world sees her struggling in cities throughout America. When her luck changes―in love and in life―she cant help but tell the sun / tell the fields / tell the huge Texas sky.... / tell myself again and again until I believe it. However, the upward trajectory of this new life is rocked by the sudden death of the poets mother. In the year that follows, Aptowicz battles the silencing power of grief with intimate poems burnished by loss and a hard-won humor, capturing the dance that all newly grieving must do between everyday living and the desire to elope with this grief, / who is not your enemy, / this grief who maybe now is your best friend. / This grief, who is your husband, / the thing you curl into every night, / falling asleep in its arms... As in her award-winning The Year of No Mistakes, Aptowicz counts her losses and her blessings, knowing how despite it all, life ripples boundless, like electricity, like joy / like... laughter, irresistible and bright, / an impossible thing to contain.
