Some say a poet is not born in a country, but in childhood. The poems in Mother Want build a mosaic of moments to tell childhood's fears and kinship devotions, its secrets and revelations. A young soul's reticence locked a door, but a survivor's poetry pried it open. These poems tell what can't be told, trusting images and sensations to convey us into life's mysterious past, and then to emerge unburdened by crippling vows of silence. Love is told as truth here, line by line. -Kim Stafford, Oregon's 9th Poet Laureate and author of Singer Come from Afar
