Produktbeschreibung
This short collection is about one leg of the journey of a life shaped in part by the early and unexpected loss of a mother. It is not so much the story of that loss, but of how such a thing informs a daughter's life: How does it impact one's experience of becoming/being a woman? Of early experiences with aging? Of one's relationships with other women (sister, daughter, etc.)? Of love relationships? Through it all the body sings grief, love, as well as fear and anxiety-especially at night. These songs change shape and tone over time, and resolve only in a softening, an awareness of the growing self, and in the acceptance of inevitability. Themes that emerge and are explored: the body, sexuality, death, fear, twinning, aging, magic, song, the night, claiming and re-claiming the self.
