Fiona Larkin's Vital Capacity explores the centrality of breath, and the emotional devastation caused when it is disrupted by disease. At its core it examines the myths and stigmas surrounding tuberculosis, the shame attached to acknowledging a disease of poverty, the political question of who can access medical treatment, and more broadly the functioning of lungs and the multiple interpretations of breath. A lyrical, disquieting, and deeply moving collection, Vital Capacity is not just a collection of poems it is a way of looking at the world through the fragile filter of the lung.
