To the Gods of Broken Gifts – poems
by Erin Philp
Synopsis
To the Gods of Broken Gifts is the examination of one woman’s journey through infertility and IVF to the childless life that lay beyond.

Paired with simple drawings by the author, the chapbook tells a less-often heard story about how heartbreaking failure can make you whole.
