i could relate to this way too much. My mother also has MS and it's such a destructive illness.

Ay yi yi! This is a powerful and wide-ranging collection. This reads very much like a memoir rather than a poetry chap to me, which I think is compelling and unlike most other poetry collections I’ve read before. There is a clear timeline here and each piece speaks to the rest in an important way. This is a loving but authentically raw and heartfelt tribute to a mother. I especially loved “Recycling the Travel Section.”

I love this book. It is a collection of poems that tells a gripping family story. Post-war sexual politics act in deleterious ways. The setting is something Betty Friedan would recognize. It's a nightmare and yet it's every day suburbia. Thank you, Rattle, for including this in my subscription.
