Your mother dies at 95. You have known her for 60+ years, and yet, you realize you don't fully know her or understand the choices she made in her life. You can't easily relate
her thoughts on love, marriage, career, relationships, sex-issues that figure prominently in your life. The poems in Materfamilias reach back through a family's history to illuminate the lives of
women: relationships between mothers and daughters, the stories told, choices made, and, ultimately, shared, for better or worse. In images mysterious and stark, they investigate a
particular inheritance of desire and loss, opportunity and worth, marriage and motherhood, a legacy that reveals a troubling truth.
