Produktbeschreibung
Britt Kaufmann set out to take calculus for the first time at age 47 so she could cross it off her bucket list. She did not expect it to lead to her first full-length collection of poetry: Midlife Calculus. Calculus is the study of how things change, so it's a fitting title for poems about midlife, about learning something difficult and new, and the state of public education post pandemic.
