Standard Deviation, On Love and Loss Across Time

Meetra Javed traverses departures in myriad forms: from cultural and familial norms, from once-familiar cities and past selves, from relationships and fears and deeply rooted memories. In her kaleidoscopic debut collection of poetry and essays, interspersed with playful drawings by Miller McCormick, she embraces change—whether seismic or small—over time. Javed reminds us to make room for the startling, life-affirming beauty that might await us once we reach the other side of each great unknown. Also included are contributions from Maxime Bagni and Frances Waite.
