Templeton Greene has crafter her third collection of poetry, A Blue House to Sleep In, embracing and questioning all things motherly: femme bodies, birth, bleeding, parenting, "the domestic", dreams, nightmares, life and death- and gives all of these themes the value and import they deserve.

There is a counterbalance of poems around life and parenting, with poems of loss and death and suicide, highlighting the gravity of both and putting them on the scale together. Greene reveals many sides of mothering and motherhood: an imprisoned mother, a birth that never was, a mother's confusion after the loss of her son, giving us a deeper connection to what links us as humans while keeping a pulse on the everyday.
