In her debut poetry collection, The Heart Room, poet and nurse Libby Kurz explores the literal heart as a metaphor for the complex realities of love and relationships. Like a body exposed on a surgery table, Kurz dissects the dueling forces of life and death, beauty and suffering, which are simultaneously flowing through the vessels of our own human experience.

The poems "How to Handle a Heart" and "Transplant" winners in the 2017 Poetry Society of Virginia Prize.
