About this book
Winner of The City of Edmonton Robert Kroetsch Book Prize
Winner of The Writers Guild of Alberta Memoir Award
As Jennifer Bowering Delisle was on her path through infertility towards motherhood, she was simultaneously losing her own mother to a rare degenerative neurological disease and an approaching medically-assisted death.
The lyric essays in Micrographia explore how losses can collide and reverberate both within our own lives and in our relationships with the rest of the world. How much do we share of our stories, and how much do we understand of what others are experiencing? Ultimately, this is a book about connection; "micrographia" is both the term for the diminished handwriting caused by neurological disease, and the narrative fragments offered here.
