In My Mother's Husbands, the poet draws pictures of men rotating through her mother's life. The child knows that she will not be provided the safety and security that she longs for. She yearns for her mother and her attention, but knows to keep away. She is attracted to her mother's way of life, but knows that she cannot follow in her path. With humor and poignancy, the poet provides a roadmap for those on similar journeys. To be upstairs and downstairs at the same time, to scrutinize and make a way out of chaos and to live in the aftermath.
