Synopsis:

In Re-Routed: verse for the human animal, New York City television news anchor Francesca Marguerite Maxime, author of Rooted: a verse memoir, boldly leads us into the forest of life's unexpected detours, where we encounter the wisdom and instincts of animals, the quirks of dating in New York City, modern fertility methods,and the importance of personal boundaries and self-acceptance. She explores the jungle of life: birth and death, hope and failure with an equally steady hand. Courageous, provocative and alive, Maxime uses vivid prose and daring honesty to take on life’s surprises. Her second collection is one of resilience marked by a fearless march toward the unknown.
