In formally ambitious poems and lyric essays, \u003cem\u003eSun in Days\u003c\/em\u003e gives voice to the experience of illness, the permanence of loss, and invigorating moments of grace. Wresting a recuperative beauty from one’s days, O’Rourke traces an arc from loss and illness to the life force of pregnancy and motherhood. Along the way, she investigates a newfound existential awareness of all that vanishes. This is O’Rourke’s most ambitious book to date: unsentimental yet deeply felt, and characterized by the lyric precision and force of observation for which her work is known.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom “Idiopathic Illness”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat can be said?
