Refinding the Rules of Gravity Anna Antongiorgi

refinding the rules of gravity by Anna Antongiorgi is a book full of the magic of young-woman-artist-human moving to New York City energy. The poems reference Taylor Swift, but also Gertrude Stein. They're sparks of comedy alongside heartache, and a healthy dose of nostalgia. In and among all of this, the collection is a story about getting back up: a ballet dancer finally coming back to dancing-happy, spunky, silly, devastating, fabulous dancing. This work speaks to the up, as well as the down, and the sometimes sideways motion of twenty-something confusion, conflict, curiosity, and joy.
