“In Superposition by Lauren O’Donovan, quantum mechanics, fertility, and the complexity of parenting in the anthropocene collide in a series of minutely observed and intimate poems. Here, we experience both vistas of possibility and the joys and frustrations of the here and now. Keenly attuned to the natural world and full of wit, philosophy, and hard-won wisdom, O’Donovan’s poems are ones you will want to spend time reading and re-reading.”
