After disaster, there is always the possibility to love again. Poet Loren Kleinman invites us to witness snapshots of a complex life-including accounts of abuse, grief, suicide, love, and loss-rendered poetic yet accessible. The Dark Cave Between My Ribs appeals to all who crave an authentic voice that is tangible, unique, and universal.

After the fracture, after the breaks in the surface, there is always light. Breakable Things is a testament to the idea that everything is breakable, and everything somehow finds its way back together again. Whether it's past, present, and future; falling in love and out; or darkness and light, life is full of beautiful contrasts. Loren Kleinman presents the world in breakable objects: bones, cabinets, hearts, sexuality, and more. She shows us that broken does not mean damaged, and that it's a necessary part in the process of becoming a whole person.

Love stays with us far longer than we realize. Loren Kleinman's Stay with Me Awhile shows how our underlying love for objects, memory, sex, books, and nature have a lasting impact on our everyday lives. As the world decays around us, the only way we can preserve our presence is to stay, embed ourselves in the experience of living deliberately, to look at one another with lasting conviction to be.
