Margo LaPierre, freelance editor and writer, has a new poetry collection forthcoming with Guernica Editions this October. Ajar celebrates radical recovery from violence and psychotic paradigm shifts, approaching madness through prismatic inquiry and navigating the monstrous physical and psychological dangers of womanhood. As time converges within us, we find new ways to heal and grow. From the emergency room to the pharmacy to the fertility clinic to the dis/comfort of home and memory, Ajar humanizes bipolar disorder, emphasizing the auspicious outcomes of neurodiverse cognition. Buy Ajar from your local bookstore or borrow it from your public library.
