Poetry. "Go ahead, try all you want pulling on Ruth Madievsky's emergency brake but just remember it won't do you any good. This will be the most exciting and inventive first book you have read in years, and this poet's take-no-prisoners attitude makes for an ecstatic joyride. These deeply moving poems reflect the raw darkness paring at the edges of our lives, and they reveal how that dark can sometimes move to the very centers of our being. Sexy, irreverent, sorrowful, thrilling the poems of EMERGENCY BRAKE become a young woman's survival manual for the Twenty-First Century: ignore it at your own peril." David St. John"

Madievsky's debut full-length collection is a book of fervent wondering that explores the body in ecstasy, in dailiness, and in trauma. Throughout it, shadow and glaring light vie for ownership of the self. Emergency Brake is a deposition of anxiety, a rap sheet of heartbreak and bliss.
