Hospice Plastics--each of the title's words denote two key thematic threads woven through the book. This somewhat autobiographical collection of poetry focuses on the illnesses and deaths of the poet's parents during her teen years, focusing on palliative care and literal plastics: medical tools and supplies--artificial, grotesquely present, weirdly funny, sublimely comforting. Ultimately, Hospice Plastics is a deeply personal and profoundly affecting examination of the self in relation to those items, as well as in relation to themes of material consumption and waste.
