<p><b>2023 Governor General's Award for Poetry Finalist</b></p><p><b>Longlisted 2024 Gerald Lampert Award</b></p><p><strong>&#34;God is personal,&#34; the astrologer said. Terrifying and also personal, like a baby.</strong></p> <p>Direct and humorous, <em>Baby Book</em> stacks story upon story to explore how beliefs are first formed. From a family vacation on a discount bus tour to a cosmogony based on cheese, these poems accumulate around principles of contingency and revelation. Amy Ching-Yan Lam describes the vivid tactility of growth and death&#8212;how everything is constantly, painfully remade&#8212;offering a vision against the stuck narratives of property and inheritance. Power is located in the senses, in wind: multiple and restless.</p>&#10;&#10;&#10;
