Chavi Eve Karkowsky

Chavi Eve Karkowsky is a high-risk pregnancy doctor and writer in NYC, who anticipates that she will be working very hard for the next few months. Her first book, High Risk: A Doctor's Notes on Pregnancy, Birth, and the Unexpected, from Liveright/W.W. Norton, is out now and can be ordered anywhere (links here to a variety of sources) or requested from your local library. She would like to remind you that buying and reading new books can be an excellent activity during social distancing. She tweets at @chavikar and will almost always respond.
