"Rachel Zucker may be Generation X's likeliest heir to the confessional legacy of Sylvia Plath, Louise Gluck, and Sharon Olds."-The Believer Rending the terrorizing forces of modern existence from abstraction and placing them directly in our laps, Museum of Accidents is a brutally honest epic of domestic proportions. Rachel Zucker is the author of three collections of poetry and co-editor of Women Poets on Mentorship: Efforts and Affections. A graduate of the Iowa Writer's Workshop, she currently lives in New York City with her husband and three sons, where she is a certified labor doula.

As with Rachel Zucker's previous non-Wave titles, galley and review copies of Museum of Accidents will be sent to all major media and literary outlets, as well as periodicals which focus on issues of motherhood and childbirth. Rachel Zucker will be touring extensively in support of Museum of Accidents, including for reading series in major cities such as Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New Haven, New York and San Francisco.

Reviews
Praise for Previous Work: "Rachel Zucker may be Generation X's likeliest heir to the confessional legacy of Sylvia Plath, Louise Gluck, and Sharon Olds. At her best, she matches desperate, pained self-revelation with breakneck lines that spill in and out of long-lined verse and writhing prose." -The Believer
