It's called an awakening trial when the pleasanter drugs stop. Before I spoke with Laura, I asked her to read a poem from Little Pharma, called “Buried Abecedary For Intensive Care.” Here's Laura.

Her writing has appeared in The Nation, The New York Review of Books, The New York Times Magazine, Poetry, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, the Yale Review, and elsewhere.
