Now you are a missing person : a memoir in poems, stories, & fragments

Susan Hayden, L.A. poet and creator of the long-running spoken word series "Library Girl," has written an exceptionally literate, poignant, and wryly humorous memoir in poetry and prose, spanning her Jewish upbringing in the Valley, early romances and relationships in and around Hollywood, and marriage and motherhood on the Westside. The story then shifts as Hayden suffers profound grief following the unexpected deaths of her childhood best friend, her father, and her husband. We journey alongside her through touch-and-go efforts to find a way forward, embracing new love while honoring her past. Hayden’s wonderful book is a revelation.
