National Book Award finalist Heather McHugh presents a fast-paced and brilliantly humorous book. Utilizing medical terminology to work through loss and detachment, McHugh's startling rhymes and rhythms - along with her sarcastic self-reflection - serve as antidotes to the sufferings of the world. Being upgraded to serious from critical condition is a nod to the healing powers of poetry. | Upgraded To Serious by Heather McHugh, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
