Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Women's Studies. SETTING THE WIRE is a memoir of postpartum psychosis and a meditation on containment: what we hold and what holds us together. A lyric exploration of motherhood, mental illness, and familial ties, Sarah C. Townsend's debut work weaves together personal anecdote, film, music, visual art, and psychology. SETTING THE WIRE is a visceral reflection on the experience of fragmentation as a young psychotherapist and new mother. "Taut, lyrical, wise writing."--Claire Dederer "Townsend drops us masterfully into a state of mind almost over the edge but never completely."--Theo Pauline Nestor "This memoir has...water and earth. Body and mind. Something like 'a shard' between."--Bhanu Kapil
