Sleep in a Strange House

In dreams and out of them this brutally frank confrontation with the work of parenting (parenting both ones self and ones children) talks back to those who would reduce mothering to a series of quaint conditionals. Talks back in a timbre that is memorable for its mettle in a voice that is at once hypnotic and homespun in craft that spars with a sly bravura and in lines that joust with disquieting fondness.-- Tom Daley author of House You Cannot Reach: Poems in the Voice of My Mother and Other Poem
