Dispatch from Every Second Guess

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A verse-memoir spanning the breakdown of a marriage and the resulting wide-open horizon of single motherhood, Dispatch From Every Second Guess  explores how we negotiate the present in the light of the past, how our lingering resentments limit our attentions, and how old wounds reopen in new ways. Gannon’s life is layered with tensions. The tension of being a white adoptive mother to a Black son. The tension of healing from a failed marriage. The tension of supporting a partner through mental health crises. The tension of mothering the partner’s child in the shadow of a fraught relationship with one’s own mother. And the tension of admitting ugly truths in a genre that often demands beauty, especially from women poets. Perfect for fans of Sharon Olds and Maggie Smith, Gannon’s second full-length collection of poetry is rife with poignant self-reflection and lyrical storytelling as she writes her way toward understanding, and maybe even forgiveness.
