What Lasts

By Sylvia Byrne Pollack

In WHAT LASTS, a memoir in poems, Sylvia Byrne Pollack (Risking It, 2021) takes us from her small-town childhood to the emergence of bipolar II disorder in midlife to the relative acceptance and serenity of her eighties. A persona dubbed Letitia symbolizes the mood excursions that weave throughout the poet's adult daily life. Family, a long marriage, mental illness - Pollack writes about it all with joy, humor, and compassion.
