Malformations of the Human Heart
by Kathryn Rantala

Description

A poetical biography of John and Anne Hunter.

From the note by George Myers, Jr., author of World’s End:

A wonderful book. Haunting. Part documentary poetics, part historical portrait, part meditation on the heart as organ, instrument, wound, and archive. [It shows] that to study the body is also to stand near mystery. And that love, like anatomy, may be most revealing where it is most fragile.
