Meredith Clark’s book, Lyrebird, is out tomorrow, 10/27, through Platypus Press. A story in fragments, Lyrebird is the documentation of a miscarriage, the chronicle of the dissolution of a relationship, and a memoir of the discovery that it is possible to approach a thing with all the care in the world and still break it. It’s a gorgeous piece of tender writing that I have held onto like the memory of a dream ever since she shared it with me earlier this year in advance of the author portrait session we did together. Here are a few selects.
