Some Wild Woman

<p><em>Esther Sadoff's first poetry collection Some Wild Woman</em> is a series of portraits that capture the messy and delicious chaos of family life. The poems focus on the poet's mother who is a veritable force of nature: a source of joy of mystery and of nourishment. Wherever this mother goes she leaves a little bit of herself transforming her world. Yet running through each poem is the question of the self. How to make it in this rough-and-tumble world? By attempting to make sense of her mother the author seeks to make sense of herself. This collection was a semifinalist in the 2023 Wolfson Press Poetry Chapbook Competition and one poem from the collection was nominated for a Pushcart Prize.</p><p><br></p>
