"having been both/daughter and mother/i can confirm/both are a burden/this is said/with a curdled tongue," writes Elizabeth Faryar in her devastating debut. 'mother' is Faryar's memoir in poetry, an examination of childhood with an addicted, unstable parent. Faryar lays herself bare and tells her story with poems that are rich and unsparing. This book is a chronicle of "a different time after all" and of a past carried alongside the present.
